There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach?

The future of architecture is culture.

I got everything from someone. Nobody can be original.

I like to be buttoned onto tradition. The thing is to improve it, twist it and mold it; to make something new of it; not to deny it. The riches of history can be plucked at any point.

Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.

Anybody can build a building, putting some doors into it, but how many times have you been in a building that moves you to tears the way Beethoven's 'Eighth' does?

Architecture is art, nothing else.

We live, we love, we let it go.

You'll... you'll... live your best life today.

The intercom buzzes while you're changing your shirt. You push the Talk button: "Who is it?" "Narcotics squad. We're soliciting donations for children all over the world who have no drugs.

A lot of journalists say, "Tell us about the '80s." Nobody wants to know about the '70s!

The corporate-powered parties are not gonna do it for us, not the greater or the lesser evil. We have to do it for ourselves. And the minute we stand up and stand together, we are unstoppable.

Humor is a terrific tool for explaining things, especially when what you're explaining is frightening or dull and complicated.

However, in modern conceptual frameworks there is a more sophisticated view. I would say that the act of music exists in several worlds simultaneously.
