In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, you're obsolete.

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.

Reducing and reusing take nothing more than a rethink on the way we shop, and using our imagination with the things that we might once have considered junk.

I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.

I don't want to build on someone else's legacy. I wanted to establish my own thing.

The idea of trying to create things that last - forever knowledge - has guided my work for a long time now.

If it were up to me, I'd rather create things that last long-term, but my thrill comes from reflecting what's going on now.

The key is to embrace disruption and change early. Don't react to it decades later. You can't fight innovation.

I made my money the old-fashioned way; I inherited it. I think that's a great thing to do.
