I've always said the rubber duck is a yellow catalyst.

I think places that need the rubber duck the most are the ones in distress.

I really hate rubber ducks, actually.

In Holland, we have a saying: 'A knife cuts on two sides.' With the rubber duck, I'm trying to show people what they haven't been seeing in their public space. When the rubber duck is there and when it's gone, you know.

I used to get a lot of rubber ducks on my birthdays as presents because, you know, I make rubber ducks. But then I get the ugliest ones with a neck, ugly colors, and devil ears. I don't like those.

I love it when people travel to see one of my works, and I always make time to meet and talk with them.
