It was such a depressing time. I didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. I made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.

More quotes by Zaha Hadid
They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
Zaha Hadid
I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
Zaha Hadid
If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.
Zaha Hadid
Life in the Middle East is quite different from other places.
Zaha Hadid
Contrary to popular view, I've never been patronized in the Middle East. Men maybe treat women differently, but they do not treat them with disrespect. They don't hate women. It's a very different kind of mentality.
Zaha Hadid
It is insufficient for architecture today to directly implement an existing building typology it instead requires architects to carefully examine the whole area with new interventions and programmatic typologies
Zaha Hadid
It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.
Zaha Hadid
I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
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
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
One has to strive for a very open liberal society.
Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.
Zaha Hadid
The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.
Zaha Hadid
When I first came to Guangzhou in 1981, it seemed such a hard and dour place with everyone in Chairman Mao uniforms.
Zaha Hadid
Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
Zaha Hadid
I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.
Zaha Hadid
The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
