Maybe, just maybe, we shall at last come to care for the most important, most challenging, surely the most satisfying of all architectural creations: building cities for people to live in.

I'm a chameleon, so changeable. I see myself as a gadfly and a questioner.

I get between nine and ten hours of sleep. Go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 6:00 or 6:30 if I oversleep.

I wouldn't build a building if it wasn't of interest to me as a potential work of art. Why should I?

I got everything from someone. Nobody can be original.

All architects want to live beyond their deaths.

I guess I want to make money just like other people, perhaps more than most people.
