It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.

We hated Bauhaus. It was a bad time in architecture. They just didn’t have any talent. All they had were rules. Even for knives and forks they created rules. Picasso would never have accepted rules. The house is like a machine? No! The mechanical is ugly. The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

I pick up my pen. It flows. A building appears. There it is. There is nothing more to say.

I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.

I think of myself as no more than 60. What I could do at 60, I can still do now.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Right angles don't attract me. Nor straight, hard and inflexible lines created by man.
