My fingers always seem busier than my mind.

When everything goes right a mobile is a piece of poetry that dances with the joy of life and surprise!

Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion.

The trouble with a lot of artists today is that they have too much technique and equipment. They don't know what to do with it all. If you cut down on it, you can work more strongly within narrower limits.

That others grasp what I have in mind seems unessential, at least as long as they have something else in theirs.

I love red so much, I almost want to paint everything red.

The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.
