Science is like a flashlight in the hands of people living in a huge balloon. They can illuminate anything in the balloon, but cannot shine it outside the balloon to see where it is floating - or if it is floating at all.

Light is architectural. It is sculptural.

Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.

My first thought is always of light.

The style of direction in 'Room,' maybe a little bit like 'Spotlight,' tries to be hidden.

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi.

Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.

I will always find my light. No question. And if I don't, I'll know, because my dad will be the first person to call me and say, like, 'You need to have him bring another 2K in,' and 'Why aren't you using this sort of lighting gel?' The crew guys know that it's where I grew up.

It is enjoyable to make things visible which are invisible.
