If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.

The first complete sentence out of my mouth was probably that line about consistency being the hobgoblin of small minds.

Faith? Haven't any. I'm not a nihilist or a relativist. I don't believe in anything but change. I'm a Heraclitean - you can't step in the same river twice.

I wouldn't build a building if it wasn't of interest to me as a potential work of art. Why should I?

Anybody can build a building, putting some doors into it, but how many times have you been in a building that moves you to tears the way Beethoven's 'Eighth' does?

There's no worse feeling than seeing my buildings and realizing the mistakes.

We do pretty much whatever we want to.
