You never build the perfect building. Only Allah is perfect. Life is such. You make decisions on conclusions, then some guy invents something else and the world changes. That's comforting. There's no one way to use museums, no one way to do art. That also means there is no one way to build museums.

I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.

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

There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes.

I found the material that people hated the most and used the most. So, I was going and try and see if I could play with it sculpturally.

Picasso could use everyone's paintings and transform them into his own. He was using ideas from all of his contemporaries.

People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
