To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

The role of art in society differs for every artist.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.

The process I go through in the art and the architecture, I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.

Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.

All my work is much more peaceful than I am.

The definition of a modern approach to war is the acknowledgement of individual lives lost.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.

I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
