The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes.

Resist your fear; fear will never lead to you a positive end. Go for your faith and what you believe.

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.

All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas!

I'm always going to love my father.

To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

I had no expectations about fatherhood, really, but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one, it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job, she wasn't kidding.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.

Friendship is Love without his wings!
