Art is manipulation without intervention.

Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented - which is what fear and anxiety do to a person - into something whole.

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

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

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.

My mother was a restorer, she repaired broken things. I don't do that. I destroy things. I cannot go the straight line. I must destroy, rebuild, destroy again. My rhythm is not the same. My mother moved in a straight line: I go from one extreme to the other.

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