We have banished our artists to the fringe of society and tell them to eat cake. It is our artists who choose freedom over safety and use their talents to question and confront the culture.

Transformation comes more from pursuing profound questions than seeking practical answers.

If there is no transformation inside of us, all the structural change in the world will have no impact on our institutions.

Structure influences behavior. Design spaces that make you feel "you are welcome here and that you came to the right place."

To be committed means you are willing to make a promise with no exception of return.
