I have the willingness to think fully about where opportunities are and where they live.

Modernism was influenced by what they call a primativist ethic.

Sometimes the creating that we do is creating a platform that allows other creative people to pitch in.

I think I'm passionately allowing myself to be influenced by the things that are around me.

I believe that beauty is a basic service.

I think I'm a full-time artist, a full-time urban planner, and a full-time preacher with an aspiration of no longer needing any of those titles. Rather, I'm trying to do what for some seems a very messy work or a complicated work.

I'm not a preacher, but I preach. I'm not a Buddhist, but I chant. I'm not race theorist, but I have questions and ponderances around the complexities of race and class and culture wherever I am.
