  • 1. The hallmark of our age is the tension between aspirations and sluggish institutions.
  • 2. Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life – so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

  • 2. Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
