Throughout history, from Abyssinians and Greeks onward, artists, sculptors, and architects have worked together. I find this post - World War II thing, this segmentation of the arts, so lame. It's the laming of the arts.

When you design someone's house, it's actually painful. I never say, "This house will be a total reflection of you and any defects in it will make you look defective." But people do expect their homes to be reflections of themselves. So what I say is, "Just pretend this is your eighth home. By then you won't care."

When you're 20, you think the whole world is talented, but whenyou get older, you realize the opposite is true.

People's first homes are always disasters. It's like the first time you have sex. It's never as good as later on. It always gets better.

I wanted to be an artist, because it's a much better scam than being an architect.

I like my clients. All of my clients say, "Peter. You're talented. But, your best virtue is your discretion." They really don't want to be talked about.
