In America, writers are afforded the freedom to express themselves in unlimited manners. Creative liberty is a privilege.

The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.

My favorite is the garlic press. I think it's beautiful as an object. But the awkward part of it all is that I don't use it much because I'm allergic to garlic.

I learned in architecture that you have to have a real plan. You have to have a client, they have to have distribution, start-up money, and have a vision of where it's going to go. All this has to be settled before you start, or else your work is just a story.

I have no requirements for a style of architecture.

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.

I don't believe in morality in architecture.
