It's frightening and unnerving to watch a stone melt.

We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.

My sculpture can last for days or a few seconds - what is important to me is the experience of making. I leave all my work outside and often return to watch it decay.

There is life in a stone. Any stone that sits in a field or lies on a beach takes on the memory of that place. You can feel that stones have witnessed so many things.

Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.

Time gives growth, it gives continuity and it gives change. And in the case of some sculptures, time gives a patina to them.

Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.

I think that any sculpture is a response to its environment. It can be brought to life or put to sleep by the environment.

You must have something new in a landscape as well as something old, something that's dying and something that's being born.

When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that's a very beautiful balance.

People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.

They say “time is money”. But I want to say “time makes money”. This means time is greater than money.

I heard silence, silence infinite as the bottom of the ocean, a silence that sealed.

Jesus came to be the light for the world, and then there's the Christmas star and the idea of letting your light shine...But not blinding your neighbor with it.

When you walk into a room, a healthy, beautiful smile is incredibly important.

There is nothing wrong with being well off as long as money has a social and ethical value and is not the object of one's own greed.

I thought it would be quite a challenge to direct a mystery thriller. I hadn't really done something like that.

I don't get surprised very often to be honest. I'm the kind of person who you couldn't throw a surprise party for because I'd figure it out.

We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say: We are that to which we pray

To have ideas one must have imagination. To express ideas one must have science.

The main problem I always have with multiplayer is that human beings are grabby, entitled, selfish, ugly, stupid, evil cockstoppers.
