When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.

You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

Thinking is my hobby. But sometimes you get to where you're stuck and you can't figure it out, so you just go work on another project. I always have multiple projects.

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

But I also think that the more you reason collectively about what the project should be at the beginning of the process, the more you can improvise later.

I'm always building images. Even when I go out and put a look together, it's in my head the whole day, like, how I'm going to create this whole story. But I'm never satisfied; it's always a work in progress no matter what. Every day is working.

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.

It is easy to have a lot of paintings or projects hanging around that are 'almost done.'

All my work begins with drawings.

I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.
