I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

I think my work is about the different strategies man has invented to deal with desire, frustration, fear of death, exhaustion. It's very much about life on earth.

Art has to maintain as large a space for interpretation as possible, and to protect itself from being too narrow.

For me, it would be very difficult to express an opinion about our times without humor. I don't think you could do that.

Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?

I think art must be the place where you are protected from the logic of the outside world.

Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it's full of curves and details, like a forest.

I want to experiment with new techniques and become a "traditional baroque artist."

I think humor is often a very powerful tool to be able to express ideas that are heavy.

Out of our suffering we emerge. Our struggles are really our only hope.

No matter what circumstances we might face in life, it is possible for us to overcome in the midst of them by taking hold of God’s thoughts.

Community development has a long history of innovation and learning from experience.

My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.

I never had a time line for my life. I didn't say I wanted to be married at 28 and have three kids by the time I was 32.

My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.

A committee is twelve men doing the work of one.

Almost all change is evolutionary, not revolutionary... expectations always travel at higher speeds.

I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
