I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.

As much as we pretend otherwise, we want what's comfortable, and we're afraid of the different. We're afraid of change.

You've got to like the people you work with.

The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.

I am just relating to the world we live in. I see some order in it, even though it looks like mush.

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.

Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
