Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

I was never good at painting. The great turning point came when I had a block of wood and I carved a shape into the wood and put a small piece of timber into that space - like a negative - and so it made an endless column, only inward.

I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.

People are always trading their excess for somebody else's excess. One country has a lot of aluminum so they trade aluminum for sugar. It's the law of supply and demand.

The wood was better before I cut it, than after. I did not improve it in any way.
