Architecture is my work, and Ive spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

The architect's role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.

Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.

My architecture is easy to understand. And enjoy. I hope it also is hard to forget.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Life is more important than architecture.

When parents neglect their responsibility to correct and discipline their children society suffers. The results are crimes and harm committed against others.

Pure unadulterated success is not as funny as failure.

My definition of a sport is that it's a physical activity that involves competition. Since bodybuilders certainly train and then compete, we are certainly a sport.

I guess I'm drawn to religion because I can be provocative without harming something people really care about, like their cars.

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

If love could be purchased, everybody would have paid a thousand dollars a pound for it. You know it doesn't work that way.

I had an appointment with a sexual deviant and I didn’t want to be late.

I do think that failure begets success sometimes, but it's often looked upon in Hollywood as not a good thing.

There's a rumor going around that I'm Miss Goody-two-shoes from Australia. Well, that's a laugh. I'm really Miss Goody-two-shoes from England!

I want to be able to depict in music a glass of beer so accurately that every listener can tell whether it is a Pilsner or a Kulmbacher.
