Inventing is something that has always come very natural to me. As a child, I was always fiddling with things, making contraptions. I'd see something, go home, and try to make something even better.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Inventing is a skill that some people have and some people don't. But you can learn how to invent.
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
I'm wary of the word 'inventing,' because in the British psyche the word 'inventor' is immediately linked with 'mad'. For me, inventing is problem-solving.
People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others.
My training and my inclination is to invent.
I'd like to be an inventor, as they look at the world in a different way and find solutions for making it better.
Each time I invent something and have it manufactured, it's so incredibly exciting that I can't imagine ever wanting to stop. Envisioning new products is easy for me. I just don't have enough time in the day to design them all.
I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.
I guess that's just the life of an inventor: what people do with your ideas takes you totally by surprise.
I try not to invent; I try simply to translate the weird language of the natural world. And I'm not into absolute ownership of things.
