I think architects are often at their best when faced with restraints.

I feel very comfortable in New York, in a city where there is no such thing as 'nationality.'

I never faced Pete (Sampras) in a match. I think from watching, his is the best serve ever. And he is the only guy that I would probably not take the bet that he would so often offer in practice -- he's down love-40, says '10 bucks, I still hold serve.' I probably wouldn't even take that against him. So many times he would come back and win. He would just put it on the dime. I also wouldn't take the bets when we were just practicing our serves, he put just a tennis ball can on the other side, and says, 'A hundred bucks for who hits more.' That's not a safe bet with him.

I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.

I think often that God is guiding me.

Before 2000, everything was about being contextual, and buildings were supposed to be good citizens.
