I love my sculptures, and I was lucky I had them for 50 years because no one would look at them and I really liked having them around.

And we who have always thought of happiness climbing, would feel the emotion that almost startles when happiness falls.

Every line is the actual experience with its own unique story.

When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time.

I work in waves, because I'm impatient. Because of a certain physicality, of lack of breath from standing. It has to be done and I do take liberties I wouldn't have taken before.

I hate roses. Don't you? It's all right if you can hide them in a cutting garden, but I think a rose garden is the height of ick.
