Everyone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.

Artists have to be useful. They have to fill a role.

It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture.

Once I was beset by anxiety but I pushed the fear away by studying the sky, determining when the moon would come out and where the sun would appear in the morning.

Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.

A work of art doesn't have to be explained.

In my sculpture, it's not an image I am seeking, it's not an idea. My goal is to re-live a past emotion. My art is an exorcism, and beauty is something I never talk about.
