I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting.

Actual space is intrinsically more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface.

Design has to work. Art does not.

Art and architecture - all the arts - do not have to exist in isolation.

Color, to continue had to occur in space.

If someone says it's art, it's art.

And that Newman wasn't, and yet to me Pollock is just as radical and unlike Expressionism as Newman.

In terms of existing, everything is equal.

If a chair or a building is not functional, if it appears to be only art, it is ridiculous.

I think most of the art now is involved with a denial of any kind of absolute morality, or general morality.

Somewhere a portion of contemporary art has to exist as an example of what the art and its context were meant to be.

You’re not a bad person, you’re just a little bit different and I’m a sucker for that.

Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed.

Live your life without ever having to ask, 'What if?

Predictions of failure have never stopped those whose ambitions are driven by their unwavering vision.

Normality is the new eccentric.

I don't have any problems in life, just situations.

People who matter are most aware that everyone else does too.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. Getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

All unhappiness is due to the ego. With it comes all your trouble. If you would deny the ego and scorch it by ignoring it you would be free.
