I'm driven by issues, not driven to be political.

I spend a frightening amount of money on books.

It's possible to be satisfied with a day's work or a cake, but a life... what is a life but a history of events badly remembered?

Generally speaking, I think that if you do anything with commitment and passion, it will come good.

I don't look at what people do with their homes in terms of money, but the social and personal value of what they're trying to do and achieve.

Architecture was pretty much the sexiest thing to be doing from 1700-1800.

Sustainability is now a big baggy sack in which people throw all kinds of old ideas, hot air and dodgy activities in order to be able to greenwash their products and feel good.
