For many years, I hated nature. As a student, I refused to put a plant anywhere - a living plant, that is. Dead plants were OK.

More quotes by Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space ... On the one hand it's about shelter, but it's also about pleasure.
Zaha Hadid
When you are overworked and exhausted, there is a sense of kind of delirium and that's why I think architects do all-nighters and they kind of do those deadlines. For four days I remember doing four nights in one row with no sleep. I mean nobody, unless you are crazy, would do that, but you are totally focused on the project.
Zaha Hadid
There is a strong reciprocal relationship whereby our more ambitious design visions encourage the continuing development of the new digital technologies and fabrication techniques, and those new developments in turn inspire us to push the design envelope ever further.
Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
Zaha Hadid
I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.
Zaha Hadid
I have been interested in fashion since I was a kid. Then I lived in London, where it was more about costume and a personal statement of who you are than about fashion.
Zaha Hadid
Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.
Zaha Hadid
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
Zaha Hadid
In terms of form, all the projects interest me equally, although there are obviously large differences according to the scale and process of each project.
Zaha Hadid
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
Zaha Hadid
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.
Zaha Hadid
Some people really live and work within the same doctrine, the same diagram with the same logic.
Zaha Hadid
I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.
Zaha Hadid
For a woman to go out alone into architecture is still very, very hard. It's still a man's world.
Zaha Hadid
I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'
Zaha Hadid
Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.
Zaha Hadid
I love driving around east London - it's always full of surprises. Actually, I don't drive myself - I like to be driven.
Zaha Hadid
