“Painting’ and ‘religious experience’ are the same thing. It is a question of the perpetual motion of a right idea.”

I’m not an expert, but I want to be.

I’m just interested in meditating on certain ideas, and I like to draw: that’s my way of thinking.

You can just drift unhappily towards this vision of heaven on earth, and ultimately that is what architecture is a vision of: Heaven on earth, at it’s best.

The beast for me is greed. Whether you read Dante, Swift, or any of these guys, it always boils down to the same thing: the corruption of the soul.

What I feel bad about is not having published very much in the last few years.

I started producing work with an ecstatic addiction.

We are pushing hard to find quality advertising clients.

No pressure is greater than God’s power.

I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.
