Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn.

Our lives are given meaning by our actions-accomplishments made while we are "here" that extend beyond our own time.

Some artists want to confront. Some want to invoke thought. They're all necessary and they're all valid.

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.

I went through withdrawal when I got out of graduate school. It's what you learn, what you think. That's all that counts.

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