Different projects give you satisfaction in different ways.

I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.

I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'

Wherever I am in the world, my perfect day begins with waking up and heading to the beach or the pool or somewhere I can be semi-comatose. I just wake up and go to the sun.

A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.

I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.

For many years, I hated nature. As a student, I refused to put a plant anywhere - a living plant, that is. Dead plants were OK.
