Nothing is ever guaranteed, and all that came before doesn't predicate what you might do next.

I went through withdrawal when I got out of graduate school. It's what you learn, what you think. That's all that counts.

To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

Every memorial in its time has a different goal.

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

All my work is much more peaceful than I am.
