I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
I don't like to start anything, ever, but if they're going to try to intimidate me, I like to just stand there and say, 'Sorry, it ain't gonna happen. ' I'm shy but I'm badass. I'm not shy in a timid way, just shy in a way that I'm not comfortable with people.
Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
I understand that, today, some developers are asking architects to design eye-catching, iconic buildings. Fortunately, I've not had that kind of client so far.
Well, I certainly hope the Democrats participate. I continue to think that some things transcend politics like the murder of four of our fellow citizens and whether or not you trust government. That is not a red or blue issue. That is an American issue. As for whether or not they boycott, I hope they don't.
There's nothing more badass than being who you are.
I love technology, and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.

We're not the Faster-than-the-Speed-of-Light Generation anymore. We're not even the Next-New-Thing Generation. We're the Soon-to-Be-Obsolete Kids, and we've crowded in here to hide from the future and the past. We know what's up - the future looms straight ahead like a black wrought-iron gate and the past is charging after us like a badass Doberman, only this one doesn't have any letup in him.

I can be a badass DJ when I want, but I am also an insufferable music snob.
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
Your memo is trumping a Congressional statute. You don't have the discretion on whether to follow the law or not.
I'm glad people think I'm a badass. I'm a rock and roller, and I'm an R&B and a blueswoman. I don't do fairy music, although I love Celtic music and sensitive music. There's a balance between ballads and kick-ass songs.
My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed.
One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.
Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.
Quantum phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space. They occur in a laboratory.
