All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.

I don't believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind

I think architecture becomes interesting when it has a double character, that is, when it is as simple as possible but, at the same time as complex as possible

We borrow from nature the space upon which we build.

If I can create some space that people haven't experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that's the kind of structure I seek to create.

My objective is to design a space that nobody else can come up with while using the material that anyone can use.

In all my works, light is an important controlling factor.

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

I've been surprised to learn how many people love poetry. It's beautiful to see that people want poetry in their lives.

In the past there was a difference between the conditions in which Hizballah operated in Lebanon and the conditions of resistance operated in Palestine.

It's very important to transcend places that hold us.

No one will love you more than you love your pain.

There was no one really like John Bender at my high school.

You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!

All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.

People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
