If you have this reputation you can sit back and endure it, or you can try to do things with it.
Rem Koolhaas

Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone else's hands.
Rem Koolhaas

Rem Koolhaas

Rem Koolhaas

Rem Koolhaas

Rem Koolhaas
