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.

A sculptor is a person obsessed with the form and the shape of things, and it's not just Ihe shape of any one thing, but the shape of any thing and everything.

One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.

Never think of the surface except as an extension of a volume.

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

The important thing is somehow to begin.

To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
