What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want in 40 years to still be acting and to more than anything have longevity and not just be this huge flash in the pan and then disappear.
I propose to build for eternity.
I'm really in such a fortunate position to have that foundation with Hall and Oates that lets me do whatever I want. That's the dream of a lot of creative people, and I don't take it for granted. I try to make the most of it.
I love the creative process and being able to build something out of nothing.
The idea of trying to create things that last - forever knowledge - has guided my work for a long time now.
My life is going at the speed of light, so it's a lot of just trying... to be present in each moment... Giving each situation and each part of life that space and making sure that it's sacred in every aspect.
The answer I have is, you know, there a lot of things you can try to build to last. And what we try to do in our work is to come up with ideas that will last. Ideas that will stand the test of time.
I suppose I'm trying to build an architecture that's as timeless as possible, although we're all creatures of our age.
Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
I'm a flash in the pan: a novelty.
