Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.

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

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.

I have been to hell and back, and let me tell you, it was wonderful.

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.

If you flatter me, or if you look at me the right way, I will kill myself to please you. It's very painful to be an overachiever.

Don't get the green disease of envy. Don't be fooled by success and money. Don't let anything come between you and your work.
