I spent my summers in Connecticut scooping ice cream and babysitting.

The arts have always been in and around my life.

Theres something magical about theater. You can live the character every single day to the point where you become that person.

I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer when I was growing up.

My dads great. Hes an amazing artist. A sculptor. Hes wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him - we talk about... everything.

I played lacrosse for a hot second, but I was mainly a swimmer - captain of my swim team.

Joys circular fulfillment was so persistent, when I was weak it gave me strength.

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

I'm not interested in the ego trip of creating or not creating. I'm interested in selling a magazine. Rock-bottom, I sell magazines. I'm a thorough professional who does his job.

To rush to throw away your magazine business and move it on the iPad is just sheer insanity and insecurity and fear.

This being-nice crap was for thebirds.

Maybe, just maybe, we shall at last come to care for the most important, most challenging, surely the most satisfying of all architectural creations: building cities for people to live in.
