My father worked in a scientific lab where he designed and built glass instruments. He was regarded as brilliant at his job and once constructed a human brain in glass just to show off his skills.

Why are we tiptoeing on glass? You can ask me whatever you like; people usually do, and I try to be as honest as I can.

Glass really rewards risk. A lot of times with glass, you're just waiting for the piece to cool down or for some temperature to adjust, and there's split seconds where you've got a fraction of a second where you get to make a move a particular way, and you don't get to repeat it if you do it wrong.

He who looks in the crystal ball ends up eating glass... They're way, way close.

The kinds of things I like with crystals are the really beautiful costume jewelry, vintage pieces, and they usually have that diamond shape.

There's always something that an engineer can do to make microscopes better.

For months I've been working on creating techniques to reproduce Swarovski crystals in sugar using the real stones to guide me.
