Being the gateway to a large city, St. Louis, I had felt from the very beginning that somehow this building should symbolize this sense of being a gateway. – Minoru Yamasaki
At least 50 times. I’ve jumped off a building, jumped off a cliff in a car. I’ve been in bedrooms when women came in with knives and guns. – Dennis Rodman
My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that’s all there is – the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there’s a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I’ll remember, ‘Oh, there’s the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.’ – Natascha McElhone
The football playoffs feature one-off affairs, without bad feelings building from weekend to weekend. In addition, football uses platoons for offense and defense and kicking, so only the interior linemen have a chance to really get up close and personal with one another. – George Vecsey
I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting. – Donald Judd
Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled. – Franz Grillparzer
When I design a building, I’m making sure you and I can get to the front door, there’s enough of a threshold for entry, and that the rooms are in a logical sequence. – Michael Graves
We don’t want our government building files on what people think about their government. – Matt Apuzzo
Scripts are very different to books. They are blueprints for building, not the building. – David Hewson
I was in Peru and visited a building near Lima built by the Incas. It was low in height, with no windows at all, but all the way in the back there was air movement. And I couldn’t figure out how they’d done it; it was incredible. – Frank Gehry
I’ve been awed by the incredible opportunities that automatically float to the Harvard undergrads I once taught – from building homes for the poor in Nicaragua to landing prime White House internships. – Nina Easton
I smuggled the camera, it was no problem to smuggle the camera there. And I took 60 photos, two films, during the time when there was no one in the control room, in the building. – Mordechai Vanunu
Obviously, with a CGI character, you’re building a character in much the same way as a real creature is built. You build the bones, the skeletons, the muscles. You put layers of fat on. You put a layer of skin on which has to have a translucency, depending on what the character is. – Peter Jackson
Although there are countless tangents that a career in the building arts can take, it is nonetheless most unusual for a major architectural practice to emerge once a firm’s principals are well into what is loosely called middle age. – Martin Filler
If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it’s a failure. – Douglas Coupland
Unfortunately, historians have become so absorbed in detailed research that they have tended to neglect the job of building larger-scale maps of the past. – David Christian
Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in ‘Transformers.’ I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films. – Michael Bay
When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, you have to be worried. – Ehud Olmert
You feel a certain way in a glass or concrete or limestone building. It has an effect on your skin – the same with plywood or veneer, or solid timber. Wood doesn’t steal energy from your body the way glass and concrete steal heat. When it’s hot, a wood house feels cooler than a concrete one, and when it’s cold, the other way around. – Peter Zumthor
YouTube was really good for building a kind of core, loyal fanbase. I didn’t want to be a YouTube artist as such. I mean, there are people who are able to release albums and live off YouTube, but I felt – and not in an arrogant way – that I could be commercial and credible if I really put my mind to it. – Gabrielle Aplin
The Palestinians are facing a historic junction at which they will have to decide whether they want to remain stuck in a corner of extreme fundamentalism, which will cut them off from the entire world, or whether they are ready to take the necessary steps. My role is to assist in building this process. – Ehud Olmert
The habit of building houses upon piles, which was first forced upon the people by the position they had chosen, was afterwards followed as a matter of taste, just as it is in Holland. – Edward Burnett Tylor
The unfortunate thing is, for the contents of the building I could not get any insurance anywhere in Canada. – Ernst Zundel
I certainly remember building model rockets. It was fun to watch the rocket blast into the air, suspenseful to wonder if the parachute would open to bring the rocket safely back. – Eric Allin Cornell
You have to blast to build in Manhattan. And the buildings went up in Manhattan because of the power of that bedrock. Once you dig that foundation – and they dig with dynamite – and once you dynamite out and you secure that foundation, that building isn’t going anywhere. – Donald Trump
I live in a beautiful vintage building that was built in the heart of downtown Chicago. – Nate Berkus
Faith is building on what you know is here, so you can reach what you know is there. – Cullen Hightower
I also grew up building theatrical scenery. I spent many years building scenery as a large part of my income and that allowed me to really develop my shop skills. – Nick Offerman
