My Goal Is To Strip Things Down

To Me, The American Dream Is Being Able To Follow Your Own Personal Calling. To Be Able To Do What You Want To Do Is Incredible Freedom.

My Parents Are Both College Professors, And It Made Me Want To Question Authority, Standards And Traditions.

When I Was Building The Vietnam Memorial, I Never Once Asked The Veterans What It Was Like In The War, Because From My Point Of View, You Don't Pry Into Other People's Business.

I Was Probably The First Kid In My High School To Go To Yale. I Applied Almost As A Lark. Then, When I Got There, I Was The Dumbest Person In Your Class.

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.
