Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.

I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education urban education women and children's issues and literacy.

I have my own production company called Urban Dreams.

'American Horror' goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - 'Flowers in the Attic' paperbacks Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death.' It even has 'Go Ask Alice'-era urban legends.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness so that one may be happy in the interim.

In high school during marathon phone conversations cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were or at least who I thought they might become.

A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once and by car forever after.

The car has become the carapace the protective and aggressive shell of urban and suburban man.

I feel however that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.

The intellectual force of the West is still dominant but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning and that less will be based on our models.

A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
