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

People think that they see, but they don't.

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.

I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.

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

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

I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
