I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.

Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it's not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you.

A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.

I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that.

To fly we have to have resistance.

An artist fights to retain the integrity of a work so that it remains a strong, clear vision. Art is and should be the act of an individual willing to say something new, something not quite familiar.

Our lives are given meaning by our actions-accomplishments made while we are "here" that extend beyond our own time.

If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings.

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

OK, it was black, it was below grade, I was female, Asian American, young, too young to have served. Yet I think none of the opposition in that sense hurt me.

The most important decision you will ever make is the decision you make about eternity.

No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you're looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don't waste time looking back.

A hero in one age will be a hero in another.

I'm starved for love. Not ordinary love but real love. The love that's like music or something.

Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.

Our lives are not fully lived if we're not willing to die for those we love, for what we believe.

Light or luminosity is created by the way elements are juxtaposed. They become reflective and a radiance comes from putting different things together.

So he that despairs, limits an Infinite Power to a Finite Apprehension, and measures Providence by his own little, contracted Model.

The knee just isn't 100 percent. It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.

Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.
