I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.

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.

You have to really believe not only in yourself; you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.

There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?

Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless

You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.

The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.

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

Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.

Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.

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

Truth shines light on darkness by questioning it.

I write to give strength to my spirit.

Productivity is about looking forward. Looking back too much, or trying to be too much of a perfectionist, can destroy that productivity. So keep going. Keep creating. Keep building.

This is the strange thing: Dancers don't age.

I have a great story to tell and I tell it well. No holds barred.

A man of genius can hardly be sociable, for what dialogues could indeed be so intelligent and entertaining as his own monologues?

Very little appears to escape the infantilizing and moral vacuity of the market.

Everything we do should contribute to happiness.

My family is my biggest inspiration. My son, my husband, and my family inspire me to be better, do better, and live better.

I'm not talking about a "show me other walls of this thing" button, I mean a "stumble" button for wallbase.
