The Only Thing That Mattered Was What

For The Most Part Things Never Get Built The Way They Were Drawn.

We Were Unusually Brought Up; There Was No Gender Differentiation. I Was Never Thought Of As Any Less Than My Brother.

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 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.

Our Lives Are Given Meaning By Our Actions-accomplishments Made While We Are "here" That Extend Beyond Our Own Time.
