There is a right physical size for every idea.

A piece of sculpture can have a hole through it and not be weakened if the hole is of a studied size, shape, and direction.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know.
