Charity work is very important to me and gives me an opportunity to give back to my community. I've always been a big supporter of many different charities, have donated millions of dollars to them, and it just feels great to do and be able to help others, especially children.

I'm always looking for the next challenge.

I'm also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I'm not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on.

Sculpture will last a lot longer than painting.

At any one time, I'll have 30 to 40 pieces going on in the studio, so this is not economically driven at all.

I cannot tell you how many people, powerful people, come to my studio and they are in tears they are so moved by what they see.
