More From Maya Lin
- "Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don’t want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist."
- "To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom."
- "When I was building the Vietnam Memorial, I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war, because from my point of view, you don’t pry into other people’s business."
