We need to feel that life is important; we need that fantasy so we can live a little better.

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

Life is more important than architecture.

The architect's role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.

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

Camus says in 'The Stranger' that reason is the enemy of imagination. Sometimes you have to put reason aside and make something beautiful.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."
