Work out of your work. Don't work out of anybody else's work.

Steve's early work had a lasting effect on me. The density and the gravity of the sound was so great it prevents recollection. The power of Steve's music has to do with its sound. Tempo counts, and language is pushed to the breaking point, where the meaning of the word is obliterated and lets the music out.

The subject of the work is your experience, your walking,

I used to eat lunch with Billy Wilder when I first came out here.

And certainly the history of public sculpture has been disastrous but that doesn't mean it ought not to continue and the only way it even has a chance to continue is if the work gets out into the public.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
