I'm preprogrammed emotionally and intellectually not to go down blind alleys. I don't waste the time. I automatically edit out whatever's impractical.

That's where you have to look for your inspiration. Don't separate the rest of your life - who you are, what you love - from your work.

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

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

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.

Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
