Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life.

Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.

Besides, I think that when one has been through a boarding school, especially then, you have some resistance, because it was both fine comradeship and a fairly hard training.

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think that's all right.

Clearly, if a building is not functionally and technically in order, then it isn't architecture either, it's just a building.
