There Are Places That Are So Designed

I've Been Told I Have The Biggest Ego In The World And That It Manifests Itself When You Come To Me And Say, 'i Don't Like This' Or 'i Want A Change'... And That I Relish That Because My Ego's So Big I Think I Can Solve Whatever You Throw At Me And Make It Even Better. I Enjoy The Interaction And The Challenge.

When People Condemn Me For Designing Iconic Buildings In Cities And Not Having An Idea What A City Is, They Haven't Done Their Homework. I Started In Urban Design And City Planning. It's Just That When I Got Out Of School There Wasn't Much Of A Market For That. There Still Isn't.

I Don't Micromanage The Interiors. People Ask Me To And I Say No. I Don't Want To Control Everything.

Your Best Work Is Your Expression Of Yourself.

I Used To Sketch - That's The Way I Thought Out Loud. Then They Made A Book Of My Sketches, And I Got Self-conscious, So Now I Don't Do It Much.
