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

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

If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility. It's not fluff. You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.

An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.

If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.

Some cultures tried to stop people from expressing themselves. In Mao's China, for example, the Communists tried to stop individual expression. For them the payoff was a society of equality. The problem of course is that it didn't work.

Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
