I'm as much interested in the form-making as well as getting you to think about what we're doing to the world around us.

I really enjoyed hanging out with some of the teachers. This one chemistry teacher, she liked hanging out. I liked making explosives. We would stay after school and blow things up.

When I was building the Vietnam Memorial, I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war, because from my point of view, you don't pry into other people's business.

All my work is much more peaceful than I am.

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

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

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