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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You cannot live with guilt.

I am immersed in architecture all day, working in my office or teaching.
