All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.

I don't know if I work in order to do something, or in order to know why I can't do what I want to do.

Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.

That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.

I don't know who I am or who I was. I know it less than ever. I do and I don't identify myself with myself. Everything is totally contradictory, but maybe I have remained exactly as I was as a small boy of twelve.

When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
