I am always amused by them. They aren't wrong, but they just aren't project- specific enough.

You have to find that thing that makes you different but by the time you get down to the shortlist, [cities] are very similar in many ways.

If you've got someone that needs a really strong airport, that works in your favor.

If the hot cities (in magazines) were the best places for everybody, I would be out of a job.

If people do things without thinking them through, that rubs me up the wrong way.

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.
