I feel coming on a strange disease - humility.

The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.

Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

You have to go wholeheartedly into anything in order to achieve anything worth having.

A building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there.

You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.

We should learn from the snail: it has devised a home that is both exquisite and functional.

No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.

Would it be enough to rock on a stormless sea with each our separate memories tuned to the state of the sinking sun?

The value system of a country comes from the pulpit.

Hostility and hatred are no match for justice; they offer no pathway to peace.

I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world.

Express everything you like. No word can hurt you. None. No idea can hurt you. Not being able to express an idea or word will hurt you more. Like a bullet.

Now I take the summer off, relax, and I know that at the end of July we're gonna start another season.

I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.

I was probably tall as a child, but I just stopped growing.

I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.
