Most of what you see in architecture are watered-down ideas of sculptors who have come before.

The thing about coming back to the Bay Area, it's like coming home for me.

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

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.

Basically, what you really want to do is try to engage the viewer's body relation to his thinking and walking and looking, without being overly heavy-handed about it.

I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.

I used to eat lunch with Billy Wilder when I first came out here.
