To Be An Artist Is To Believe

Now I Really Make The Little Idea From Clay, And I Hold It In My Hand. I Can Turn It, Look At It From Underneath, See It From One View, Hold It Against The Sky, Imagine It Any Size I Like, And Really Be In Control Almost Like God Creating Something.

One Mustn't Let Technique Be The Consciously Important Thing. It Should Be At The Service Of Expressing The Form.

All Art Is An Abstraction To Some Degree.

I Think About Sculpture All The Time. I Work At It For Ten To Twelve Hours A Day. I Even Dream About It. If As A Result I Was Only To Produce Something That Everyone Immediately Understood I Would't Have Been Thinking Very Profoundly.

A Sculptor Is A Person Obsessed With The Form And The Shape Of Things, And It's Not Just Ihe Shape Of Any One Thing, But The Shape Of Any Thing And Everything.
