In my own work, I'd say I'm a classicist, but I look everywhere for my solutions. I don't study the toilet-living habits of my clients, although that's a popular approach. First, I think of every building in history that has been similar in purpose. Then I think of the functional program - that's a major part of the study.

We do pretty much whatever we want to.

I get between nine and ten hours of sleep. Go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 6:00 or 6:30 if I oversleep.

Houston is undoubtedly my showcase city. I saved all my best buildings for Houston.

We all see the world differently. And thank God for that. Otherwise, what a boring world this would be.
