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 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.

The more centralized the power, the less compromises need to be made in architecture.

Architects design houses. I live in a home.

I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'

If you want to show a picture, just show it - don't spend too much time arranging it.

Architecture is definitely a political act.
