I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.

You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.

Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.

To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.

I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

Good morning is a contradiction of terms.

My wife's jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, 'You know what? I'm giving up, I don't care.' And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.

To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me everything he knows.

My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

I like to eat and I love the diversity of foods.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.

He wants you all to Himself to put His loving, divine arms around you.

I have always supported measures and principles and not men.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.
