I don't know the difference between working and not working.

Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept.

When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.

Art has more ego to it than what I do.

If you want to be creative, don't try to do something new. Doing something new means NOT doing what's been done before, and that's a negative impulse. Negative impulses are frustrating. They're the opposite of creativity, and they never yield good ideas.

Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood, plaster or clay.

My work is very bodily. It's not a shell, but a body.
