I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.

When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.

I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Zaha Hadid
Image
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.

Wherever I am in the world, my perfect day begins with waking up and heading to the beach or the pool or somewhere I can be semi-comatose. I just wake up and go to the sun.

I miss aspects of being in the Arab world - the language - and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it's Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, 'This river has flown here for thousands of years.' There are magical moments in these places.

I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.

The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.

Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
Zaha Hadid
Image
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
Image
Architecture is particularly difficult for women there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.

You really have to have a goal.

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.

Obviously for some people there is a big connection between music and the way you can create a space.
