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.

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.

The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.

I don't do commissions and I like the freedom to create what my heart or mind tells me to.

I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life.

There are very few people who do what I do.

I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.
