Success is like a high-rise building I'm on the first floor. There are a lot of people in the basement or the parking lot but I was lucky enough to have made it to the first floor and I'm looking to make it to the penthouse.

I like to do things that I develop from the ground up.

You do projects with the hope they will be big and hope they will go beyond what you imagine.

I would like the thrill of making a new project every time.

My favorite part of any project is the preparation. It's where you get to meet the people, the experts.

My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on. To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation, but I'm working on the foundation.

My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there.

I think a construction project for me is like writing a novel. I can't do the project unless I can envision sort of the whole structure and see what the end result might be.

I'm always running up and down buildings or around 800-acre properties for work - you can't do that in heels or flip-flops!

It is always pleasant to be urged to do something on the ground that one can do it well.
