I'm Inspired By A Lot Of Stuff. I Always Was Interested In Sculpture And Painting And Music And Literature And All Those Things. There's No One Thing.

Liquid Architecture. It's Like Jazz - You Improvise, You Work Together, You Play Off Each Other, You Make Something, They Make Something. And I Think It's A Way Of - For Me, It's A Way Of Trying To Understand The City, And What Might Happen In The City.

You Can't Ignore History; You Can't Escape It Even If You Want To. You Might As Well Know Where You Come From, And You Might As Well Know That Everything Has Been Done In Some Shape Or Form.
