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.

Now I really make the little idea from clay, and I hold it in my hand. I can turn it, look at it from underneath, see it from one view, hold it against the sky, imagine it any size I like, and really be in control almost like God creating something.

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

Being an artist is celebrating life.

Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.

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.
