Too Many Are Too Obsessed By Method.

As A Woman, I'm Expected To Want Everything To Be Nice And To Be Nice Myself. A Very English Thing. I Don't Design Nice Buildings - I Don't Like Them. I Like Architecture To Have Some Raw, Vital, Earthy Quality.

When Women Do Succeed, The Press, Even The Industry Press, Spend Far Too Much Time Talking About How We Dress, What Shoes We're Wearing, Who We're Meant To Be Seeing. That's Pretty Sad For Women, Especially When It's Written By Women Who Really Should Know Better.

When You Are Overworked And Exhausted, There Is A Sense Of Kind Of Delirium And That's Why I Think Architects Do All-nighters And They Kind Of Do Those Deadlines. For Four Days I Remember Doing Four Nights In One Row With No Sleep. I Mean Nobody, Unless You Are Crazy, Would Do That, But You Are Totally Focused On The Project.

I've Always Thought That Design Can Have Equal Importance To The Idea Of Internal Architecture. Professionally, Things Can Be Very Dogmatic - You Do The Architecture, Someone Else Does The Interiors, Someone Else Does The Furniture, The Fabric, Etc. But I Think Design Is All-encompassing.

I Don't Think That Everybody In The Planet Should Have A Child. I've Never Had The Desire I Should Have A Kid.
