I'm Interested In Youth Culture And Popular

I've Always Listened To A Lot Of Film Music, Actually.

I'm So Immersed In My Little World That I Don't Often Sit Back And Pay Attention To What's Going On Around Me. It Truly Stuns Me When People Recognize Me. Obviously, I'm Not A Film Star, But Even At A Design Exhibition Or Art Exhibition, If Someone Comes Up To Me, I'm Sort Of Taken Aback. I Don't Think Of Myself Like That. But If I Can Have An Effect On Young Designers, That's Great - Particularly Young Designers Coming From Australia. Europeans Grew Up With Design. The Rest Of Us Lived On Tidbits Of Information.

I Have To Confess That I'm In A Constant State Of Evolution In Terms Of The Way I Feel About It. When I Was Doing Early Pieces, I Wasn't Exactly In Love With The Idea Of Building The Stuff. I Could Do It Because I Had The Skills, But I Really Did It Because I Couldn't Find Anyone Else To Build It For Me.

And Where I Grew Up In Australia, Surfing Was A Part Of Culture.

My Job As A Designer Is To Look Into The Future. Not To Use Any Frame Of Reference That Exists
