I Thought I Might Have To Give

If I Was An Artist, And I Was In The Studio, Then Whatever I Was Doing In The Studio Must Be Art.

I'm Surprised When The Work Appears Beautiful, And Very Pleased. And I Think Work Can Be Very Good And Very Successful Without Being Able To Call It Beautiful, Although I'm Not Clear About That. The Work Is Good When It Has A Certain Completeness; And When It's Got A Certain Completeness, Then It's Beautiful.

Did You Stop Because It Was Good Enough, Or Could Have Done More - But Then Maybe Ruined It Too? Sometimes You Finish Because You've Gone Too Far.

I Get The Feeling That Sometimes The Ideas Work Very Well When You're Doing Them In The Studio Alone.

In The Studio, I Don't Do A Lot Of Work That Requires Repetitive Activity. I Spend A Lot Of Time Looking And Thinking And Then Try To Find The Most Efficient Way To Get What I Want, Whether It's Making A Drawing Or A Sculpture, Or Casting Plaster Or Whatever.
