“Clearly, private developers can have different aims, and architects can only play a certain role. You can have some pretty big battles on public commissions, too. The key is to have a good client.”

“I love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You're lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you're living well.”

“I am much more passionate about cities than I am about nations. The competition between cities is more civilised than between nations. There is an understanding there.”

“The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly.”

“People ask what are my intentions with my films - my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct.”

“The aims of anarchists and true communists are identical.”
