I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.

I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.

There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?

I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.

I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.

Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.

People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
