You really can't function as a celebrity. Entertainers are celebrities. I'm an architect. I'm an artist. I make things.

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

It terrified me to have an idea that was solely mine to be no longer a part of my mind, but totally public.

I like to think of my work as creating a private conversation with each person, no matter how public each work is and no matter how many people are present

If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings.

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

I think I've always had an activist stance, yet at the same time, the other side of me - and this is where some people just don't get it, or they'd prefer it if the work was a lot uglier, a lot louder - I have this personality where I just want to put something out that's a fact and then let you interpret it. It's almost as if you might barely notice it, you might walk right by it, but you have to pay attention.
