I believe if you work really hard and follow what you want to do in life that that combination - I believe in it. You need to take risks.

In one of his books my father said, "Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse."

I have found that sharing this very intimate part of my life has been really powerful, because it has brought support from people I wasn't expecting. It's cathartic on many different levels. As I get older, I realize it's so much better to connect with people. It makes everything better to connect. Only connect. Why not have my art be about that? I think of it as moving from the third person to the first.

We created computers as an extension of our brains, and now we're connecting through those computers and the Internet cloud as a way of expanding them.

Through a lot of scientific and left-hemisphere thinking in the last 400 years, we've separated ourselves from nature, as if we were superior. We were looking at nature as a resource that we could manipulate. I think we're coming to a new understanding that it's just impossible. We are nature. We can't remove ourselves. We need to think more interdependently.

Imagine the potential of an emerging global brain.
