I got everything from someone. Nobody can be original.

I guess I can't be a great architect. Great architects have a recognizable style. But if every building I did were the same, it would be pretty boring.

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.

Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.

Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.

I call myself a traditionalist, although I have fought against tradition all my life.

Purpose is not necessary to make a building beautiful.
