I wish someone would ask me to design a cathedral.

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

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

I guess I want to make money just like other people, perhaps more than most people.

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.

Concrete you can mold, you can press it into - after all, you haven't any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in our architecture? You'd be surprised when you go into a room that has no straight line - how marvelous it is that you can feel the walls talking back to you, as it were.

I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach?
