My friend Jonathan had a great tree house. It was awesome. It was like a big fort up in this tall magnolia tree... That's where we would conduct our very important business, I'm sure, with all our bikes leaning up against a tree and no girls allowed, handling all sorts of important things you handle when you're seven or eight.

There is little in the architecture of a city that is more beautifully designed than a tree.

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.

When I was a child, I was living in the housing projects of Philadelphia. I didn't even have a Christmas tree.

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

I've built a tree house; because of my architectural training, it's heavily over-designed, with an oriel window sticking out of it and flying foxes coming off it.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

Street and park trees provide tremendous benefits to cities.
