You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.

I think I needed to really move past my first public work as memorialist, and be equally balanced. It's a bit unusual, to be working between the architecture, the art, and what I would say is a synthesis, the memorials - they're problem solving, but it's very symbolic. You get this triangle; I need to be balanced with those three. They're all equally a part of who I am. I love how different they are, and yet they're coming out the same thing, whatever it is.

Sometimes you have to stop thinking. Sometimes you shut down completely. I think that's true in any creative field.

Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.

It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.

Nothing is ever guaranteed, and all that came before doesn't predicate what you might do next.
