Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

The architect's role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.

My architecture is easy to understand. And enjoy. I hope it also is hard to forget.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Life is more important than architecture.

We need to feel that life is important; we need that fantasy so we can live a little better.

Isn't that the tragedy of growing up though? One day you wake up and realize that everything you are and everything you feel is not much different from what everyone else feels.

What's right isn't what's worked.

You may start small but don't stay small

True citizens are not the audience of their government, nor its consumers; they are its makers.

It's not the note you play that's the wrong note - it's the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.

I'm still learning who I am. One minute I have black hair, the next it's red. One day I'm wearing Converse sneakers, and the next I'm in the hippie look.

American Sniper focuses on a soldier with 160 kills, or as Harvey Weinstein calls it, a slow morning.

Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected

He who is created by television can be destroyed by television.
