I do not think you can find a reason for everything you make.

How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.

To fly we have to have resistance.

You should be having more fun in high school, exploring things because you want to explore them and learning because you love learning-not worrying about competition.

I always give the analogy of the Earth at Night picture, of 7.3 billion of us, right? And everyone says, "Well, that's population." Well, if you took the entire world's population and you lived at the density of Manhattan proper - not a bad place to live - how much space do 7.3 billion people take up? The state of Colorado. At which point I end my lectures, because I want you to be thinking ... is this really a question of population, or is this a question of land use and resource consumption? And let's face it, the top 1.3 billion of us are doing all the damage. Sorry.

It's funny, as you live through something you're not aware of it.

A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.
