From when I was about seven, I thought I wanted to be an architect. I've always loved spaces and dwellings in general.

I didn't know what architecture was except that I lived in a house. I don't even think that I knew the word for a long time. My dad funneled me into engineering because it was his background.

If you were a son of mine, I wouldn't want you to be an architect, because it's a tough way to be in the world.

Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.

I wanted to be an architect. I used to draw houses and buildings and construct buildings on my own.

I come from a long line of architects. I'm the only one who did not become an architect, but I've been around the drawing aspect and construction my whole life.

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 would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.

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.

When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success.
