Space has a way of looking. It seems like it has a presence of vision. When you come into it, it is there, it’s been waiting for you.

Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation.

With no object no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking.

My desire is to set up a situation to which I take you and let you see. It becomes your experience.

My work is about your seeing. There is a rich tradition in painting of work about light, but it is not light -- it is the record of seeing. My material is light, and it is responsive to your seeing.

I am not an Earth artist, I'm totally involved in the sky.

Science strives for answers, but art is happy with a good question.

I've always felt that night doesn't fall. Night rises. There are these incidences in flying where you just sit there. It's one of the best seats in the house.

I like when you feel like you arrive in a very different place, with a different ordering of the reality you normally think of.

I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed with seeing, like the wordless thought that comes from looking in a fire.

If every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then the opposite of giving is receiving!!!!! Give maximum appreciation and you will equally receive!!!!

An HBCU that is not inherently revolutionary is irrelevant.

Even God cannot change the past.

The internet has a way of mainstreaming everything. Any artist, any musician, any sexual kink, any political view point, it's all there.

Originality in literature is only a new coat of paint on an old house.

The theory of modern education is that you need a general education before you specialize. And I think to some extent, before you're going to be a great stock picker, you need some general education.

There's a responsibility as a musician to do the music that you want to hear.

I think it's important to break taboos for the same reason it's important to break laws and rules - because either you're a slave to them, or you're taking matters into your hands.

If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.

I think jazz is good, but I don't enjoy it. It's not for me.
