My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.

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

If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.

My buildings are all on budget.

The thing is, I hate the celebrity architect thing. I just do my work.

Your best work is your expression of yourself.
