Richard Rogers

"My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people."

"Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times."

"I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art."

"Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know."

"Architecture is about public space held by buildings."

"Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower."
