Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.

You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.

It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

I love contemporary art, although I wouldn't want a pickled shark in my house.

Poles must understand history but we must also overcome it if it is obstructing our contemporary goals.

I've been very lucky. I've written for most of my idols and the contemporaries.

Once in a while, a person finds his humanity in a way that astounds his contemporaries.
