To know one thing, you must know the opposite.

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.

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

All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and surprise, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious. BOTH SIDES of the artist's personality must play their part.

There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.

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