The one advantage of being dyslexic is that you are never tempted to look back and idealise your childhood.

I suppose if you look back to your early childhood you accept everything people tell you, and that includes a heavy dose of irrationality - you're told about tooth fairies and Father Christmas and things.

I look back to a happy childhood.

You have to modernise; you have to change - you can't just be traditional for the fun of being traditional.

My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.

Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.
