But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.

I have a number of places on my wish list, including Antarctica, the Norwegian fjords, and the Amazon. I have a passion for wilderness, and Siberia is on my list - however, that may be a bridge too far.

I believe that all my work explores the human desire or obsession for utopias, and the structure of all my works is the search for utopias lost and rediscovered.

I feel connected to that idea of wanting to belong to something, to have a sense of purpose as a man on the planet.

I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live.

Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.

I'd much rather be in the expanse of the wilderness because it feels like part of my world. It's a unique perspective. You're this tiny speck in a huge environment, and it's nice to be reminded of that.

I don't like landscapes. I like cities. Lots of cities. I like buildings. I like streets.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years.
