Life is more important than architecture.

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.

We need to feel that life is important; we need that fantasy so we can live a little better.

This is a time when all of God's people need to keep their eyes and their Bibles wide open. We must ask God for discernment as never before.

No matter how high buildings you make, your soul needs to be where it belongs.

If a man realizes who he is, he is aware of his value

When a man finds the one woman who is right, it scarcely matters what else is wrong.

I have a good team around me. I have people I trust around me. If I go the wrong way, they will yell at me. Just as they have in the past.

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

To grow mature is to separate more distinctly, to connect more closely.

I was lucky enough not to face any required summer reading lists until I went to college. So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun.

I swam my brains out.

I'm really bad at being nonviolent.
