I Refuse To Work Unless

Most Of What's Around Us Is Banal. We Live With It. We Accept It As Inevitable.

There's A Drive In Us To Express Ourselves In Some Way Or Form. We Pick Up Whatever Material Is Available. It's Primitive. Kids See Sand On The Beach, Build Something And Show Their Parents: "look What I Did, Mama." It's Necessary To Us.

Anybody I Talk To Agrees That Maybe 2 Percent Of The Building Environment Since The War, We Could Call Architecture.

The Message I Hope To Have Sent Is Just The Example Of Being Yourself.

In The Art World Robert Rauschenberg Had Been Combining Common Materials That People Thought Was Art And Beautiful, And It Was. If He Could Do That, I Could Emulate Him.
