My first paying job might have been doing a play, actually. My mom paid me to dress up as a flounder at my sister's 'Little Mermaid' - themed birthday party when I was little.

It's a funny thing. You sort of never figure it out with acting. You're always learning.

In tragedy, it's hard to find a good resolution; it's not black and white: it's a big fog of gray.

Sometimes we fall in love with the idea of a person and have trouble seeing the real thing.

I tore my ACL playing basketball.

I think 'American Pie' is great.

When I left the work world, I started designing my dream house. I dived into architecture and bought seven vacant lots. My plan was to build one house, move in, and build the next. If the next was better, I'd move in and sell the previous one - so on and so forth.

My private work is touched by this destiny of understanding that architecture and engineering have a social character and can serve the community.

When I work on sculpture, I don't have to worry about function. When I work on a piece of architecture, I must think about function all the time.

Barcelona is a beautiful city. I love the buildings and the architecture and always enjoy being close to that. It makes sense as an art person to work in places like that, it always feels nice and creative.

I've always been a good student, made good enough grades to do well, and enjoyed a lot of different subjects. It wasn't until I went to architecture school, though, that I really loved school work.

I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
