To Fly, We Have To Have Resistance.

I Probably Spent The First 20 Years Of My Life Wanting To Be As American As Possible. Through My 20s, And Into My 30s, I Began To Become Aware Of How So Much Of My Art And Architecture Has A Decidedly Eastern Character.

You Couldn't Put Me In A Social Group Setting. I'm Probably A Terrible Anarchist Deep Down.

I Was Always Making Things. Even Though Art Was What I Did Every Day, It Didn't Even Occur To Me That I Would Be An Artist.

You Should Be Having More Fun In High School, Exploring Things Because You Want To Explore Them And Learning Because You Love Learning-not Worrying About Competition.

I Think I've Always Had An Activist Stance, Yet At The Same Time, The Other Side Of Me - And This Is Where Some People Just Don't Get It, Or They'd Prefer It If The Work Was A Lot Uglier, A Lot Louder - I Have This Personality Where I Just Want To Put Something Out That's A Fact And Then Let You Interpret It. It's Almost As If You Might Barely Notice It, You Might Walk Right By It, But You Have To Pay Attention.
