“I wanted to be a landscape architect, but I trained as a teacher; I worked in publishing; I was a waitress.”

“I have a hippopotamus skull next to my bed, called Gregory. When I was six, my three sisters and I clubbed together and paid £4 for it in a junk shop. We collected owl pellets, ostrich eggs and sheep skulls for our natural history museum at home.”

“One sees more and more people who are miserable and demented and you feel it would be both kind and wise to leave them a few pills.”

“Who I am as an architect and the history of my work - that's clear to anybody who hires me. But I come in literally with nothing in my brain about what the building will look like.”

“If I've been an architect of my own career in any fashion, one thing that I've attempted to do is not get typecast, in order to be able to play all different kind of characters. I think I've done a pretty good job of that over the years.”

“Who is the architect? I am the architect.”
