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

The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.

When you were a kid, if you went to the Montreal Forum or a hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens, which I did, there was a great feeling. The new stadiums don't have it. Why don't they have it? Building codes.

What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.

It's not elitist to acknowledge that everyone has a unique signature and everyone is different.

Cardboard is another material that's ubiquitous and everybody hates, yet when I made furniture with it everybody loved it.

Ideas exist in the marketplace; they are thrown out for everyone to use.
