I just think people should be able to express themselves.

I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.

I like to smile, even in intense situations. My opponents don't know how to react when they see me smile.

Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

I don't care how I got here. In the books, when you look at it 10 or 20 years from now, it's not going say how he got here, it's going to say he's here and he represented the team.

One forgives to the degree that one loves.

The most powerful teaching of children is by the example of their parents.

Don't look at the superficial success, at the short-term success. Look at the deep spiritual questions that architecture has to answer. Who do you build for? Where? What should you build?

As somebody once said, we're not punished for our sins, we're punished by them.

We deal with people that are going through divorces and that are facing life-threatening illnesses, and I'm giving them hope. And to me, I don't think there's anything "lite" about that.

If you continually ask yourself, "What's important now?", you won't waste time on the trivial.

I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
