A lot of people love Tarantino’s films because they’re spectacular, they’re beautiful, they’re wonderful. He hires the best group of artists - not only actors, but everyone around: best photographers, best set designers, best production designers, costume designers. A lot of people love his films because they’re bloody, they’re gory, they’re savage. But very few people see that he’s a very political director.

Demian Bichir

Designers have been uncreative and very arrogant. They need to listen to people. People have always wanted more exciting, interesting design, but we designers didn't see it.

Marcel Wanders

Of course designers inspired me, but I was more inspired by everyday people. People that I see walking down the street.

Zendaya

Film is such a very good tool for communicating emotions, and all designers and creative people look to inspire an emotional response.

Ozwald Boateng

Good designers copy; great designers steal.

Pablo Picasso

Very few designers today design - it's very important to be able to do your own sketch on paper and then explain [your vision] to the fabric cutters. Instead, lots of designers drape - it's the new way.

Valentino Garavani

I make films but I am trained as a designer. I come from this series of designers called critical designers, speculative designers.

Nelly Ben Hayoun

Everyday's a battle against; everyday's a fight for. Everyday is collaged with shadows cast in everyday's sunrise. Everyday is a new chance.

Debby Ryan

Here in France, I've seen some very good young designers, but they don't have this ability to be good businessmen, too. I think America gives you this.

Carine Roitfeld

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They’re able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand.

Paola Antonelli

My computer is a very complex gadget and it was designed by many designers, so why must the universe have only a single designer and not many designers?

Richard Dawkins

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.

Alexander McQueen

I always have a soft spot in my heart for New York designers and independent designers, people who are doing the fashion equivalent of what I'm trying to do in film.

Greta Gerwig

I think there's a sort of agony with all intelligent and very creative designers that it's only fashion, that in the end it's only the decorative arts. I had a feeling towards the end that Saint Laurent and Berge were very keen to attain that immortality that a lot of designers long for. You know, those endless exhibitions.

Suzy Menkes

I am a good man and I behave well on an everyday basis. It was not a decision of waking up one day and saying "I will be a good person today, problem solved", no, it has to be an everyday thing.

Juan Pablo Escobar

I cannot draw to save my life, and I'm not a big art scholar, but I worked with many designers throughout my career - in theater, in dance, costume designers, set designers, and I have a lot of artist friends and I do photography, and I think it's kind of in my life.

Mikhail Baryshnikov
