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

I'm a do-gooder liberal.

Ideas exist in the marketplace; they are thrown out for everyone to use.

It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.

In the Renaissance there wasn't a distinction. Bernini was an artist and he made architecture, and Michelangelo also did some great architecture.

I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.

Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
