Speaking as a builder, if you start something, you must have a vision of the thing which arises from your instinct about preserving and enhancing what is there... If you're working correctly, the feeling doesn't wander about.

A builder is like a little god - somebody who does things, doesn't just draw things.

If you want to achieve something, you build the basis for it.

Look at kids playing with blocks. I think it's in everyone's DNA to want to be a builder.

I champion the idea of being more conscious. I call it being an active architect of your own life. Building your life like an architect builds a structure.

With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.

That's point of writing: building what you need, right?

I have a view that if you build something that's good, and you keep making it better, it lasts.

Part of creating is understanding that there is always more to do; nothing is ever completely finished.

Every man is the architect of his own life. He builds it just the way he wants it. However, after he has built what he wants, he sometimes decides that he doesn't like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame instead of changing himself.
