I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's not a blueprint for me to follow.
I was never one to sit down and write a plan for my future.
I was told millions of times that I was never going to achieve what I set out to, but I decided to do it, and I did it.
The world is not to be approached, blueprint in hand, as if it were so much raw material waiting to be fashioned to someone's design.
I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be.
I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design, where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.
I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.
I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.
No one ever contributed anything to my designs.
So many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it.
