It would be nice if all that exuberance and abundance was connected to a deep ethos of planetary responsibility.

Richard Meier told me, 'Young man, solar energy has nothing to do with architecture.'

If you don't like carbon, if you want to be zero carbon, then you might as well shoot yourself, dry up and blow away because you are carbon.

Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!

If anybody here has trouble with the concept of design humility, reflect on this: It took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage.

You don't filter smokestacks or water. Instead, you put the filter in your head and design the problem out of existence.

We are not a green standard, we are a quality standard. We're different, we're multi dimensional.
