“I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a rela...” — Eva Zeisel Quote

“I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets.”

“My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye.”

“My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.”

“I would read a lot about how to be a dad. I had never changed a diaper before we had Birdie.”

“I was thrown into a community production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' or something when I was a kid. I wanted to just build the sets, but I wasn't allowed to just build the sets unless I auditioned for the play. So I auditioned for the play and was thrown into the chorus. During the course of that I fell in love with it, and I never really turned back.”

“If you can hit your 3- and 5-woods with confidence from the fairway, par 5s become birdie opportunities, and 420-yard par 4s are a lot less scary.”
