Japanese train signs, station signs, are really representative of the Japanese mind to me, because it always has the station where you are, the station you were previously at, and the station that is the next station. When I came to New York, I was very confused. It just doesn't say where I was and where I was going. But I realized after a while probably most people don't need to know what station you were previously at. But I think it's just some weird Japanese mentality that we need to know, we need to connect the plot.

The first significant work I did was a railway station in Zurich called Stadelhofen.
It is right for us not to want our country transformed into a mere corridor, a giant railway station.
Some people tell me they would be afraid of my characters, but I tell those people [that] they meet these characters all the time. They just don't care about them when they meet them, at the gas station, the car wash, the post office even.
In 1910, eighty-two-year-old Leo Tolstoy flees from his wife and dies in a railway station of exposure.
I'd be ashamed to see a woman walking around with my name-label on her, address and railway station, like a wardrobe trunk.
