I tend to pack light but still keep a large bag because I love to shop.

In Britain, there’s kids who grew up in London and then kids who didn’t. You become quite street wise. It’s such a big city, and everyone is moving and trying to get on with their lives.

In 2012, the city of Austin erected an eight-foot-tall bronze statue of Willie Nelson in the heart of the business district.

The great city can teach something that no university by itself can altogether impart: a vivid sense of the largeness of human brotherhood, a vivid sense of man’s increasing obligation to man; a vivid sense of our absolute dependence on one another Picture Quote #1

I was in Philadelphia - a very angry town, Philadelphia. I’ve never seen a town like this. It’s supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love - like when my brother was 12 and I was nine, and he would lean on my shoulder and dangle spit in my face Picture Quote #1

I’m fed up with democracy. In a democracy, people vote for the mayors. I wanted to build a city where I will choose the citizens Picture Quote #1

Roads are necessary, but the fact that we don’t fully recognize that when you build a road you’re doing more than building a road - you’re building the future development of your city. And, that’s what’s never dawned on people. It still doesn’t, in a way Picture Quote #1

Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It’s a city with buildings and towers and roads. There’s a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau Picture Quote #1

In a building with apartments, of course, you want to make connections. Life is easier that way. There’s salt if you don’t have salt; you can knock at someone’s door, like in any city. But you know, you can hear the others, and you want to sleep, you get annoyed Picture Quote #1

When I first came to New York City, what I was thrilled about was not the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty; it was the fireplugs in the street. These things that Jack Kirby had drawn. Or these cylindrical water towers on top of buildings that Steve Ditko’s ‘Spider-Man’ fights used to happen in and around Picture Quote #1

The private sector is growing so incredibly in India, in every city you have industries for whom building a concert hall would be nothing financially. But they just don’t do it Picture Quote #1

Los Angeles is a city of few hard targets. Its iconic buildings are private spaces, mostly residential, visible by invitation only or in the pages of a Taschen book. Its central industry is as mirage-like as the projection of light on a screen Picture Quote #1
