Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'
My buildings are not particularly expensive. It is not a tin shed. If you want a tinny car, you pay for that.
I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.
What's nice about concrete is that it looks unfinished.
I have always appreciated designers who dare to reinterpret fabrics and proportions, so I follow the Japanese and Belgian designers. The pieces are so animated. When they lie still, they are one thing, but once you stand them up or wear them, they become something else.
