Architecture should be dedicated to keeping the outside out and the inside in.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.

There is, however, a change going on in the world. There's far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.

Works of art produced in the contemporary world are a further expression of that. But I don't think there is an active, ongoing nihilist self-consciousness in the artist.

Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.
