On teamwork...
"I read that Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were asked how they got [to be] such a good team, and that the answer was, we really don't know. We just grew that way. And that is the same way with Claes and me. We never set out to work together, but we felt true chemistry between us in the evoking of imagery in the dialogue of art and writing."

"I am very conceptual, and I work with Claes very much in that first stage. Then sometimes, in the fabrication of something, he tends to get too much involved with the construction or with the engineering part. He takes what Jennings (the structural engineer) proposes to him and I scrutinize it, because I am not so attached to that situation."

"So in that sense, I have become very practical."
