There is a single thread of attitude a single direction of flow that joins our present time to its early burgeoning in Mediterranean civilization.

Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand that kind of thing.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

Film as dream film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does and goes directly to our feelings deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

I would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.

If you examine this I think that you will find that it's the mechanics of Japanese architecture that have been thought of as the direct influence upon our architecture.

In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
