I like to be buttoned onto tradition. The thing is to improve it, twist it and mold it; to make something new of it; not to deny it. The riches of history can be plucked at any point.
From Philip Johnson
It is wonderful to be in the country in a glass house, because no matter what happens out there, you're nice and safe, you know, cuddled in your little bed, and there it is, raging storms, snowing - wonderful.
Faith? Haven't any. I'm not a nihilist or a relativist. I don't believe in anything but change. I'm a Heraclitean - you can't step in the same river twice.
The future of architecture is culture.
Houston is undoubtedly my showcase city. I saved all my best buildings for Houston.
There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.
