Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.

I've been such an outsider my whole life.

You can't make anything authentic by asking people what they want because they don't know what they want. That's what they're looking at you for.

I've learned that in order to achieve what I wanted, it made more sense to negotiate than to defend the autonomy of my work by pounding my fist on the table.

Large-scale public projects require the agreement of large numbers of people.

Scientific reality is the modern human condition, and you can see that in the symbolic nature of my work.

The multiplicity of ideas is what Im interested in.
