I do not think you can find a reason for everything you make.

You have to have conviction and completely question everything and anything you do. No matter how much you study, no matter how much you know, the side of your brain that has the smarts won't necessarily help you in making art.

I was probably the first kid in my high school to go to Yale. I applied almost as a lark. Then, when I got there, I was the dumbest person in your class.

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn.
