Endings are like, I always say, like a women's pregnancy. When she has a child, she is happy to have the child, but there is a thing called postpartum depression, that is that she is no longer carrying the baby.

I am very different as a parent to new kids. My work changed from being rooted in the sky to being rooted in the earth.

I truly believe that the great heroes that create the history of architecture are people who take risks and write to tell about it.

I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.

Stop making me feel good. If you are anti-Semitic, fine. If you don't like me personally, fine. But deal with me as an individual, not as a Jew.

My wife has her stuff and her taste, and I have my stuff and my taste.

Architecture is definitely a political act.
