Space, space: architects always talk about space! But creating a space is not automatically doing architecture. With the same space, you can make a masterpiece or cause a disaster.

Art should be created for life, not for the museum

Each new situation requires a new architecture.

It is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out.

Architecture exists, like cinema, in the dimension of time and movement

I like to play with architecture! It's my favorite game.

My buildings are more famous than me.

I think architecture has to be a gift.

I generally hate the luxury modern apartment with too many things out of sight and so clean you cannot touch.

If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!

I like English parks.

No matter the challenges you are passing through today

Stand-up is my favorite thing I've ever done. There's so much independence.

I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.

Ty it well, and let it goe.

The first film is everything you want to say and how you want to say it. Lots of directors will do that and do it really well, but the second film is not so easy.

Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.

There's only a handful of directors who really understand what I call the alchemical balance between a man and a woman, in a woman's body, which most people consider the strong woman character.

No- one is ever told any story but their own.

There should be no distasteful tasks in one's life. If you just hate to do a thing, that hatred for it develops body-destructive toxins, and you become fatigued very soon.
