Peter Cook Peter Cook, architekt, spisovateľ, komentátor, možno aj šaman schopný vyvolať dážď, evanjelista pre rozvoj budúcich miest. Od 60 rokov patrí k najzaujímavejším postavám svetovej architektúry. Architekt vychovávaný ako funkcionalista.“

„ Moja viera o architektúre je, že by mala byť exkluzívna a mala by zároveň myslieť na svoju funkčnosť. Vo svojom názore viem byť aj dosť tvrdý. Vytočí ma, ak niekto napríklad umiestni schodisko do zlej pozície. Myslím si, že veľká časť architektúry minulého storočia bola k sebe až príliš nekritická ! “

Peter Cook: Citáty v angličtine

“We shall move about in people's rooms and say, "Excuse me, we are the World Domination League. May we dominate you?" Then, if they say "Get out," of course we give up. Well, you have to give up if you're told to get out.”

“We believe this to be the work of thieves, and I'll tell you why. The whole pattern is very reminiscent of past robberies where we have found thieves to be involved. The tell-tale loss of property — that's one of the signs we look for.”

"Blind", in Derek and Clive (Live) (1976)

“Well, it's always very difficult to say what prompts anybody to do anything, let alone getting underwater and teaching ravens to fly. But I think it probably all dates back to a very early age, when I was quite a young fellow. My mother, Lady Beryl Streeb-Greebling, you know, the wonderful dancer — 107 tomorrow and still dancing — she came up to me in the conservatory — I was pruning some walnuts — and she said "Arthur" — I wasn't Sir Arthur in those days — she said "Arthur, if you don't get underwater and start teaching ravens to fly, I'll smash your stupid face off," and I think it was this that sort of first started my interest in the whole business of getting them underwater.”

“I've always been after the trappings of great luxury. But all I've got hold of are the trappings of great poverty. I've got hold of the wrong load of trappings, and a rotten load they are too, ones I could have very well done without.”

I never had it, so I'd had it, as far as being a judge was concerned... I would much prefer to be a judge than a coal miner because of the absence of falling coal.
