The funkiest housing in Holland is for low-income, and I think that's very nice.

It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.

I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.

All the privileged can travel, see different worlds; not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.

I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.

People don't talk to you properly. It's the way they talk to you; they dismiss you. I think it's a combination of me being a woman and a foreigner.
