1 Age

  • 1. Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
  • 2. Why should 20-year-olds only be considered sexy? I think we get better with age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. People never cease to amaze me.

3 Anger

  • 2. It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'

4 Anniversary

  • 3. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
  • 2. As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
  • 3. The same sort of thing happened in my dispute with the National Trust book: Follies: A National Trust Guide which implied that the only pleasure you can get from Folly architecture is by calling the architect mad and by laughing at the architecture.
