         在marimekko/who-we-are/designers點進去會有旗下設計師的小訪談(問卷)，讓我很著迷地每個都點進去細細看了起來(怎麼英文如此不好的我會這麼有幹勁?)，也可能是我對於訪問設計師或名人一些小問題時，他們的回答往往會成為我是否記住他們的一個關鍵，不得不說我對這種答題有特殊的癖好，似乎這種快問快答比一整個長篇大論能夠讓我感覺真實和自以為的洞悉(笑)，有時候某些人精簡爽快的回答會讓我覺得：靠.超有個性的．也有些回答會讓我超驚豔想說：太有創意了這個回答，怎麼自己都想不到啊（感概自己終究是個凡夫俗子)．以下是我執意擷取下來的部分，當然喜歡的部分一定會參雜個人過往經驗的喜好(OMG還打出自己的OS)，若也有興趣的人可到官網上看全貌．
