Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.

Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.

Everybody's an artist. Unfortunately we don't treat them as such.

I promised a lot of people I'd slow down when I turned 80.

What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.

It's not elitist to acknowledge that everyone has a unique signature and everyone is different.

People say, "This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me." Then when somebody does something different, real architecture, the push-back is amazing. People resist it. At first it's new and scary.
