Architecture is for the young. If our teenagers don't get architecture - if they are not inspired, (then) we won't have the architecture that we must have if this country is going to be beautiful.

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.

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.

You are the books you read!!!

This is all for Naieya (daughter), man. I will be a champion one day, I promised that to her.....And now that I have this opportunity I can't let her down.

I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.

Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.

She briefly wished she did have some sort of magic so she could shoot a bolt of lightning through his head.

Following celebrities or people you don't regularly see in person often doesn't add to our happiness. The best use of social media is to deepen existing close relationships or create new ones.

To get a better piece of chicken, you'd have to be a rooster.

I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver.
