To Fly We Have To Have Resistance.

I Cannot Force A Design; I Do Not See This Process As Being Under My Conscious Control.

I Like To Think Of My Work As Creating A Private Conversation With Each Person, No Matter How Public Each Work Is And No Matter How Many People Are Present

It Terrified Me To Have An Idea That Was Solely Mine To Be No Longer A Part Of My Mind, But Totally Public.

I Saw The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Not As An Object Placed Into The Earth But As A Cut In The Earth That Has Then Been Polished, Like A Geode. Interest In The Land And Concern About How We Are Polluting The Air And Water Of The Planet Are What Make Me Want To Travel Back In Geologic Time-to Witness The Shaping Of The Earth Before Man.

I Also Wanted Remembering The Past Relevant To The Present. Some People Wanted Me To Put The Names In Alphabetical Order. I Wanted Them In Chronological Order So That A Veteran Could Find His Time Within The Panel. It's Like A Thread Of Life.
