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

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

The challenge of a cathedral is very good for architectural inventiveness.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

Turning 102 is crap, and there is nothing to commemorate.

I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.
