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

To fly we have to have resistance.

I saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial not as an object placed into the earth but as a cut in the earth that has then been polished, like a geode. Interest in the land and concern about how we are polluting the air and water of the planet are what make me want to travel back in geologic time-to witness the shaping of the earth before man.

Every memorial in its time has a different goal.

Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.

The definition of a modern approach to war is the acknowledgement of individual lives lost.

To fly, we must have resistance.
