If you're overwhelmed by the size of a problem, break it down into smaller pieces.

I knew from the age of five what I wanted to do. The one thing I could do was draw. I couldn't draw that much better than some of the other kids, but I cared more and I wanted it badly.

I absolutely hate technology, and I'm computer illiterate, and I never use any labor-saving devices although I'm not convinced that a computer is a labor-saving device.

A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been.

Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.

Having a routine, knowing what to do, gives me a sense of freedom and keeps me from going crazy. It's calming.

I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine... Most of the pleasure is in getting the last little piece perfect.
