I really do build furniture to be used, you see, to be lived with.

I'm incredibly boring and logical, so if I have a problem I will try and fix that problem.

I love Burgundy but my favourite is a Bordeaux - Chateau Leoville-Barton.

There was a submarine that I desperately wanted to buy in the toy shop. My father said, 'No, you go and build it yourself.'

Pepys was such a meticulous person that he had little wooden blocks to make all the books on his shelves the same height.

I like to say we can make anything in wood.

A lot of my pieces have involved teamwork, but hopefully they've inspired people to make things - that inspiration would be a great legacy.

My teaching was primarily focused on making, it wasn't about the pounds, shillings and pence. I remember being in college and being in business and there was just a weekend in between.

I think there can be no replacement for teaching people how to make things by showing them how to stick two pieces of wood together.

Bedales was perfect for my sister and me. Very open. Very few rules. No uniforms. Co-educational. And very little of 'You have to do this like this.' You very much controlled your education.
