Body experience... is the centre of creation.

I rarely draw what I see. I draw what I feel in my body.

I found one had to do some work every day, even at midnight, because either you're professional or you're not.

Body experience... is the centre of creation.

I love my blocks of marble, always piling up in the yard like a flock of sheep.

[My works are] an imitation of my own past and present and of my own creative vitality as I experience them in one particular instant of my emotional and imaginative life. . .

All my early memories are of forms and shapes and textures. Moving through and over the West Riding landscape with my father in his car, the hills were sculptures; the roads defined the form. Above all, there was the sensation of moving physically over the contours of fullnessess and concavities, through hollows and over peaks - feeling, touching, seeing, through mind and hand and eye. This sensation has never left me. I, the sculptor, am the landscape. I am the form and the hollow, the thrust and the contour.
