I started working for Bethlehem Steel when I was about 16 during the summers.

Work out of your work. Don't work out of anybody else's work.

Your eye is a muscle, you have to keep it in shape and the more you draw, the more you see.

If you reduce sculpture to the flat plane of the photograph, you're passing on only a residue of your concerns... You're not only reducing the sculpture to a different scale for the purposes of consumption, but you're denying the real content of the work.

What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are.

If you get it out into the urban field it's going to be used or misused but it'll also probably provide a way of people acknowledging what the aesthetic is about because people have to confront it every day.

Everything we choose in life for its lightness soon reveals its unbearable weight.
