With sons and fathers, there's an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you.

I am a bit of a junkie. It's inexplicable really. I believe we creatures are very susceptible to our surroundings. They can actually improve our mode of life and I personally am very affected ... when I walk through an intelligent building. It inspires me. To me it's like walking through a piece of art and, coupling that now with the green movement of the smarter architecture - of the healthier buildings with great design - is a very exciting prospect to me.

Every child grows up thinking their father is a hero or villain until they are old enough to realize that he is just a man

Some fathers and sons don't get along that well when they're younger because they can't find a way to reach each other, ... A father loves you dearly but you don't see it and so you're always trying to please your father, but your father doesn't let you know how he feels, which is, you don't have to please him because he already loves you.

Rich men's sons are seldom rich men's fathers

They won’t turn away a father who has come to find his son.
