Being an artist is celebrating life.

A work can have in it a pent-up energy, an intense life of its own, independent of the subject it may represent.

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

To be an artist is to believe in life.

The important thing is somehow to begin.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
