When I started designing in school, I discovered that I had a knack for it. I fell completely in love with architecture, and I remain in love with it.

I went to school for engineering, I studied jazz. So I always had this kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.

I studied architecture in New York. So, really I was very moved, like everyone else, to try to contribute something that has that resonance and profundity of it means to all of us.

When I was in architecture school at Princeton, the worst thing you could say about someone was that they were eclectic.

My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.
