It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.

It's amazing what you can get on open source now if you actually use the right search engines to find the material.

It was at Bell Labs that I first made direct contact with real semiconductor experts and thus began to fully understand what amazing materials they were and what they could do.

If you have only 95 minutes of material make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.

Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.

When anything goes digital let alone something as immaterial as a book there is a tendency to see it as just in the air to be taken and to lose the sense that somebody once made it.

On the stage you alone hold the key and on the night you have to trust that the director has inspired you enough to take the material and run with it.

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.

Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.
