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 left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.

When I was very little, we would get letters from China, in Chinese, and they' be censored. We were a very insular little family.

An artist fights to retain the integrity of a work so that it remains a strong, clear vision. Art is and should be the act of an individual willing to say something new, something not quite familiar.

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

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

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