If there's a group like Amish people, that want to live their own lifestyle – they don't want to live in our city – they want to live out in the country, with their own projects.

If you're shipwrecked on an island with 10 million dollars and your wife has gold and diamonds, but there's no water, no arable land, no fish, you have nothing. Money is a 'nothing' thing.

You have to take in the whole picture, and ask, What is it you want? What kind of world do you want? So, I have drawings of different cities. Those cities have an end goal they're not just cities. The end goal of those cities is to make things relevant to people that they respond to. There's no other way.

You don't see the plug connected to the environment, so it looks like we're free, wandering around. Take the oxygen away, we all die immediately. Take plant life away, we die. And without the sun, all the plants die. So we are connected.
