“I have always been interested in design, but in the beginning I didn't...” — Paloma Picasso Quote

“I have always been interested in design, but in the beginning I didn't set out to make jewelry specifically.”

“I always thought that you breathe, you eat, you go to sleep, and you draw.”

“After university, I was working as a stylist in the Paris theatres when I had a flash of inspiration. I made necklaces from the bikinis designed for the cabaret performers of Folies Bergeres. I was so happy with them that it was only then that I sought out formal training in jewelry.”

“If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.”

“I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.”

“One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.”
