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

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

I'm not in a hurry to do a lot of projects. I am very resolved in each project I take on.

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.
