Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it but I hope it never stops.

I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them they are just great.

Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.

The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain life's origin any more than a study of silicon copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program.
