I started working for Bethlehem Steel when I was about 16 during the summers.

I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.

What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are.

On the other hand, if there's an underlying core of poetry that I go to, I go to the sea. I've lived on the sea all my life. I live on the sea in Cape Breton.

Everything we choose in life for its lightness soon reveals its unbearable weight.

The thing about coming back to the Bay Area, it's like coming home for me.

Your eye is a muscle, you have to keep it in shape and the more you draw, the more you see.

Play is a necessary ingredient in art because there is a kind of wonder that goes on when you play. You're directing your activity toward a conclusion that isn't prescribed by a particular method.

To see is to think, and to think is to see.

Basically, what you really want to do is try to engage the viewer's body relation to his thinking and walking and looking, without being overly heavy-handed about it.

I think you always have to find where the boundary is in relation to the context in order to be able to kind of articulate how you want the space to interact with the viewer.

We ought to love, encourage and support each other.

Thoughts race, as if, in a mind devoid of memory, each idea has too much space to grow and move, to collide with others in a shower of sparks before spinning off into its own distance.

Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...

Every day is one day closer to the dirt, so you got to go hard.

It's weird. I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.

I have a resolution that I introduced in February. I think there's enough there that we know about the Kremlin and about Putin to be concerned about whether or not there was collusion.

I don't blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues.

We muckraked, not because we hated our world, but because we loved it. We were not hopeless, we were not cynical, we were not bitter.

The poet is the one who breaks through our habits.

Life for the strongest. There is no sympathy for the slain, only admiration for the winner's strength.
