I believe that architecture is fundamentally a public space where people can gather and communicate, think about the history, think about the lives of human beings, or the world.

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 know all the swear words. I just don't use them. There are worse things in life than being called a Lady.

Having your own character in a video game is pretty cool.

I have a black sense of humor. You try living my life, see what color yours turns.

God got nothing to lose. Them who think they can use God, they wiping out them own selves. If you think you can use God, you are destroying your own self.

I'm not sure Betsy DeVos has ever spent a day in a public school. And I don't - I'm pretty sure Donald Trump hasn't.
