Resolution 1441 does not give anyone the right to an automatic use of force. Russia believes that the Iraqi problem should be regulated by the Security Council, which carries the main responsibility for ensuring international security.

The resolution has made a real threat of war go away and opens the way for further work in the interests of a political- diplomatic settlement of the situation around Iraq.

We believe the use of force against Iraq, especially with reference to previous resolutions of the UN Security Council, has no grounds, including legal grounds.

Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.

There's no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times.

Designing and developing anything of consequence is incredibly challenging.

When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.

Different' and 'new' is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard.

When something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, it sort of becomes magical.

It's a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I'm aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.

What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.

Design is a word that's come to mean so much that it's also a word that has come to mean nothing.

I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.

I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.

I think subconsciously people are remarkably discerning. I think that they can sense care.

It never ceases to amaze me what it takes to develop and bring to mass production a product.

It's difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.

Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious, so uncontrived and natural - it's so hard!

People's interest is in the product, not in its authorship.

Perhaps I'd like to design cars, but I don't think I'd be much good at it.
