Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.

Life is painting a picture not doing a sum.

The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money... and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.

We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

I used the music kind of as therapy and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.

I feel fortunate. I've really gotten to work with amazing talented people and to learn from them which is why I'm doing this. If I can work with the best director I'm going to do it.

It's great when people appreciate your work but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing and that can even be extremely lucrative but I love it either way.
