“Motorcycle garb is the way I looked to Warhol. Then came the Armani suits.”

“I always look for inspiration, and the creativity of artists is an essential element to my life, my work, and my happiness.”

“Architects have big egos. We like to think we're creating the pyramids and they're going to be around for thousands of years. And it's a joke because they're not even going to last our lifetime. I built a home for umpteen gazillion dollars on a gorgeous piece of property in Palm Beach, and 11 years later somebody else bought it and knocked it down.”

“I want to be the first person to animate bags - everything done for handbags bores me to tears - I want to make it more playful.”

“I loathe when architects only analyze architecture in intellectual, nonvisual ways. I really love direct response, and that's very pop. I don't want to discuss abstract transparencies with a bunch of kooks.”
