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

Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it's not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you.

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.

I cannot force a design; I do not see this process as being under my conscious control.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

I loved school. I studied like crazy. I was a Class A nerd.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.
