My buildings are not particularly expensive. It is not a tin shed. If you want a tinny car, you pay for that.

As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.

If it was something expensive like a Mercedes, we could sell the car and pay some back.

If I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella.

Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.

Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
