I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting.

Although idea and form are ultimately paramount in my work, so too are chance, accident, and rawness.

I think of moving as a kind of saving grace.

At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.

There is the potential for much more spontaneity with prints than there is with the sculpture, which tends to be very slow, accretive kind of process-labor intensive.

When I went to Africa I think that was when I really found a way to deal with what I had recently discovered; in two-dimensional terms, at least.

The work is flowing from an inner knowing of how things really are.

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.

The site I landed on feels much more isolated than it really is; it's almost magical. Within its limited radius, there was a whole range of the local ecology.

The fire was followed by a period of grieving and then by an incredible lightness, freedom, and mobility.

Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist.

But life isn't really about just geting by. Right when you've lulled yourself into a false sense of security, it likes to throw in a plot twist. Keep you on your toes.

Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.

I dress the way I want. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not.

Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.

Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.

There is no time like the present.

Change your plate. Change your fate.

Prejudice, not being founded on reason, cannot be removed by argument.

Anything you want to succeed in, you can do.
