It's what I've wanted to do since I was a child, so a scene usually plays itself out in my head with me performing it. And if I cast myself that's one less person I have to pay, one less person I have to explain my vision to, one less person I have to worry about.

Architecture is essentially a score, and what happens with it depends on the people who play it, enjoy it, use it, or hate it.
