« I’m working with Claudio Silvestrin, who did my apartment in New York. There’s this Japanese dude in the same complex as me and his crib was just so impeccable I would come over and ask him for advice. So one day he said, “Look, I’m just going to tell you some architects,” and he named John Paulson, Claudio Silvestrin, and Antonio Citterio. These people are just, like, so at the top of their game, like ridiculous, award-winning, that they don’t really do apartments like that. So I reached out to Claudio, then I went to my neighbor and told him, “Claudio’s coming in next month.” He must have wanted to spit up his drink.
            I’ve been studying architecture since I was 19, and when you know too much you can’t just be content with other people’s designs. The only type of house that I would get would be a castle or something from the 1920s, an old Victorian or something, but I wouldn’t just buy someone else’s contemporary home, ’cause a lot of times these new architects do a lot of arbitrary stuff. It’s like, “Why do you have that?”
