"I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That’s art to me." ― Maya Lin Topic(s): Architecture More From Maya Lin "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." "How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It’s more evident now." "Some of your teachers are actually closer in age to you than you think." More In Architecture "I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead."― Gilbert K. Chesterton "Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues."― Robert Smithson "Especially with a comedy, you’ve got the clear cut goal of trying to make a scene funny. It’s not like drama where you’re trying to achieve some kind of emotion or trying to further the story along. You’re trying to figure out what’s the funniest way to do something."― Luke Wilson
