I refuse to work unless I get paid, so I don't get a lot of work sometimes.

Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. "The client made me do this." "The city made me do this." "Oh, the budget." I don't believe that anymore.

We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.

When you agree to collaborate, you agree to jump off a cliff holding hands with everyone, hoping the resourcefulness of each will insure that you all land on your feet.

There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes.
