Early unsuccessess shouldn't bother anybody because it happens to absolutely everybody.

The future of architecture is culture.

It is wonderful to be in the country in a glass house, because no matter what happens out there, you're nice and safe, you know, cuddled in your little bed, and there it is, raging storms, snowing - wonderful.

Ninety-eight percent are boxes, which tells me that a lot of people are in denial. We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it.

People resist it. At first it's new and scary.
