But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.

The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.

Architecture theory is very interesting.

Prose is architecture not interior decoration and the Baroque is over.

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.

The interior of the house personifies the private world the exterior of it is part of the outside world.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.

With Stacy it was interesting because you know he was within all this chaos all these different lives that were so broken and so much anger and so much frustration and their skating came out of that their different styles came out of that.

The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.

That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand failure follows. The anger is OK but it has to serve the interests of the heart frankly.

I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love.

One of the amazing things about the Internet is that the content creators are the gatekeepers. We can think of an idea and execute it quickly and we didn't have to pitch the idea to a major network or convince a studio head to sign-off on the concept.

Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

I made some friends who are still friends and this is the city of my birth. I love living here when there's a reason to other than just moving here. I still don't like the winters here but it's an amazing city and I love it.

I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director and his sensibility - I wouldn't even know how to articulate it - it's just he's a very sensitive interesting guy.

It's amazing to me that people have any interest in such a low-level sex scandal. If I were sleeping with a congressman maybe but I'm a nobody and the people I'm writing about are nobodies.

For the past 21 years I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.

Turns out I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

I spend up to two hours a day on correspondence. Hearing from fans on the Internet and being able to directly respond to the fan base is exciting. You can cut out the middle man like the fan club... before a recent appearance in Tyler Texas I had fans reaching out on MySpace offering their lake house Mavericks tickets. It was amazing.

James Franco has this interesting and relaxed look. It's pretty 'I don't care ' but it still looks good. Ryan Gosling also has amazing style. I take a lot of my fashion tips from those two. In my opinion they're the ones getting it right.

Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone's imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is many companies don't have great imagination but their view of reality tells them that it's impossible to do what they imagine.

I was interested in transcendence from a very early age. I was interested in what was over there what was behind life. So when I had my first communion I was very disappointed. I had expected something amazing and surprising and spiritual. Instead all I got was a bicycle. That wasn't what I was after at all.
