I Work From The Inside Out.

I'm Preprogrammed Emotionally And Intellectually Not To Go Down Blind Alleys. I Don't Waste The Time. I Automatically Edit Out Whatever's Impractical.

If I Knew Where I Was Going, I Wouldn't Do It. When I Can Predict Or Plan It, I Don't Do It.

I Have Always Thought That L.a. Is A Motor City That Developed Linear Downtowns.

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.

You See A Lot Of So-called Architecture That Part Of The Ego Trip Overpowers The Functionality And The Budget And All That Stuff.
