Everybody's an artist. Unfortunately we don't treat them as such.

In the Renaissance there wasn't a distinction. Bernini was an artist and he made architecture, and Michelangelo also did some great architecture.

One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.

Those who say only artists and architects can create are the ones who are elitist.
