I don't labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line.

I felt that everything is beautiful, but that which man tries intentionally to make beautiful; that the work of an ordinary bricklayer is more valid than the artwork of all but a very few artists.

The paintings to me are always canvas, sculpture has always been metal, though I have made sculpture in wood also.

The most pleasurable thing in the world, for me, is to see something and then translate how I see it.

I don't labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line.

All my work begins with drawings. I don’t labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line. I like to be able to get swift curves in the plant drawings that are usually drawn in five to ten minutes.

My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.
