I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.

I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.

I don't look so closely at women's fashion, but from the 20th century on, people have had the freedom to express themselves and their individualities, and fashion is one of the most fundamental ways in which they do this, men and women are equally able to express themselves.

If there is only one culture all over the world, that's not a good thing.
