Quote

People have an awful lot of problems that society has put on them and a lot to work through because of it.

No matter what problem you encounter, whether it's a grand challenge for humanity or a personal problem of your own, there's an idea out there that can overcome it. And you can find that idea.

I feel that my work is not in vain, that it does have a place in society, even though it may not be considered that it has a place in society - it doesn't matter.

My work has social implications, it functions in a social arena.

The conditions of suffering that exist today in our impoverished communities are not acceptable. The reflection of those conditions are less concerning to me. And I work everyday about changing the conditions.

I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one's strengths and weaknesses are.

Our biggest struggle as human beings is to project ourselves as something that society has deemed admirable or likable instead of being honest.

I have always had a tendency to keep enlarging problems which I personally think is the way the world works... that seeing anything one dimensionally on the kinds of political, sort of big issues of human progress is going to be a distorted view of things, which is why over my career I have gone seemingly from subject to subject to subject.

We live in a world that is full of problems, and we are the solutions to those problems.

If you asked me what is the basis of all my work, it's the feeling there's something basically wrong with human beings.
