Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and thats how I started. – Marc Newson
I think its really important to design things with a kind of personality. – Marc Newson

Thats a hobby of mine – to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me – obviously Im often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer! – Roman Coppola
