I attended a lecture by a gray-haired old man from Finland, who later I discovered was the architect Alvar Aalto. I was very moved. I wasn't interested in architecture, but it was a moving thing I've never forgotten.

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

I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.

The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself.

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

There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.

I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
