I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.

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.

Were I but perfectly normal, I would just not be.

I'm a reading addict. I can't live without it, like someone who is addicted to drugs.

Someone needs your actions to inspire his actions. Never forget, your little broken cake is someone’s daily meal! Care to share you little cake!

We can't be brave without fear.

Think of your forefathers! Think of your posterity!

Liberals go straight to ugly racist stereotypes when attacking conservative blacks, calling them oversexualized, stupid and/or incompetent.

Touring is my favorite part of being a musician. All the places I've traveled and lived affect me in many different ways. Good and bad.

I have lived in the only decades I could have lived in, and hope to live through at least a few more.

Medical school had been a time for imaginary diseases and Martin had contracted almost all of them.

Take time everyday to shift from immersion in human-centric thinking to ecoexperience.
