In love one had need of being believed, in friendship of being understood.

Friendship is the positive and unalterable choice of a person whom we have singled out for qualitites that we admire.

We all get lots of people. And maybe we don’t always get to have them the exact way we want them, but if we can figure out a way to compromise, you know, then we can keep them all.

The passion for self improvement is the love for reading, learning and writing.

Timing is everything in life and in golf.

Can the water in the valleys ever stop and rest? When the water finally reaches the sea, it becomes great waves.

These are two opposing forces, and whenever I am in active politics, I stop writing. And when I'm writing, I don't politick.

Architecture isn't just about creating new buildings, sometimes its about retuning what's already there.

I certainly never imagined 80-year-olds singing along, like they were watching Cats. I'm fascinated by that kind of pop cultural zeitgeist that it's attached itself to.

I still have a lot to learn. I just have two cats, and when I'm in a bad mood - you know, it would be very easy to throw a cat across a room.

I'm a very private person that prefers a low profile.
