I was interested in architecture. I was interested in every aspect of theatre.

Experience Architecture School Me

I enjoy juggling four or five different projects in the air and finding connections and disconnections between them.

The important thing is not to know where you are going, to be open to accidents. That's what keeps it fun.

Every time we make a new invention, we think we're going to save the world, but eventually, we understand that the real virtues of that new invention have mostly to do with commerce. Then we feel a huge emptiness, and we want to fill it with beauty.

Beauty Time World Think Feel New
