The job of buildings is to improve human relations: architecture must ease them not make them worse.

I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.

When you look at Japanese traditional architecture you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.

I also had to work through the violation of my date rape my unhealthy relationships with men my anger toward the people involved in the scandal and those who exploited me afterwards.

Men are fair and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

The Beethoven Experience provided the opportunity to solidify the relationship between the Orchestra and me the Orchestra and me and the public between all of us and the city of New York because Beethoven after all is a really amazing point of reference.

It's amazing the relationships you forge in a kitchen. When you cooperate in an environment that's hot. Where there's a lot of knives. You're trusting your well-being with someone you've never before met or known.

I've had four amazing men in my life very strong powerful wonderful men. I certainly will have a relationship with someone but I don't think I will get married again.

In our relationship we don't have that situation. I don't require what he needs and he doesn't require what I need. I know what I do I have an amazing life that nobody knows about.

I have an amazing relationship with my wife but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.

I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.

I have an amazing relationship with food.

My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents. When you're embarrassed by them and stuff. We never went through that because I was constantly working and she constantly had to be there.

I started crying the other day just thinking that the baby is going to leave me soon! You have this relationship with this person in your belly and it's really amazing.

Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses I try things on and play dress up and we get creative to see what works.

I have a full life: I have two amazing kids I have great friends great family. And right now that's plenty for me to manage. A new relationship just seems like way too much work.

I mean Buckingham Palace has never hired a professional public relations outfit let alone a Madison Avenue type and they would throw up their hands in horror at the very idea.

If you're truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time there's a family bond that you have. In fact I've talked about this with therapists especially if you're talking about a relationship because when you're with somebody you're going to your family and she's alone.

I tour alone. There's no sound check no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

After all my various relationships I find myself now home alone.

I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.
