The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.

You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.

We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.

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

There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.

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.

Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
