“Para ser arquitecto, tienes que ser dos cosas: optimista y curioso. Me gusta ser optimista. Creo que el espíritu humano es capaz de cosas increíbles. Los más bellos edificios, el Chrysler Building, el Empire State, fueron levantados en épocas de ruina, depresión, pesimismo. Ojalá podamos hacer lo mismo con este Mundo.”

"Design is about seeing opportunities. [...] It’s a way of constantly looking at the world around you and trying to make it better, and especially to make it easier. I want to make things simple so that things don’t take time from you which they don’t deserve."
