"What frustrates me is florists who put everything at the same size on the table. I like it when ther..." — Peter Marino

I'm really a fighter against modernism equaling brutalism.

Nine out of nine architects start with a sketch, and then they say, 'What should we make it out of?' I start from the bottom up - what should it be made out of - and then I worry about what should it look like. The material, the color of the material, the way it feels, and the way you respond to it is every bit as valid as the form or the shape.

I believe that women would crawl across broken glass to get a cool pair of shoes.

I do really modern with materials that are so luxurious that they're, like, baroque.
