Our Parents Decided Not To

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.

You Couldn't Put Me In A Social Group Setting. I'm Probably A Terrible Anarchist Deep Down.

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.

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

In Art Or Architecture Your Project Is Only Done When You Say It's Done. If You Want To Rip It Apart At The Eleventh Hour And Start All Over Again, You Never Finish. I Was One Of Those Crazy Creatures.
