Talking About One's Work Releases The Energy

The Secret Of Life Is To Have A Task, Something You Devote Your Entire Life To, Something You Bring Everything To, Every Minute Of The Day For The Rest Of Your Life. And The Most Important Thing Is, It Must Be Something You Cannot Possibly Do.

Sculpture Is An Art Of The Open Air... I Would Rather Have A Piece Of My Sculpture Put In A Landscape, Almost Any Landscape, Than In, Or On, The Most Beautiful Building I Know.

All Art Should Have A Certain Mystery And Should Make Demands On The Spectator. Giving A Sculpture Or A Drawing Too Explicit A Title Takes Away Part Of That Mystery So That The Spectator Moves On To The Next Object, Making No Effort To Ponder The Meaning Of What He Has Just Seen. Everyone Thinks That He Or She Looks But They Don't Really, You Know.

I Sometimes Begin A Drawing With No Preconceived Problem To Solve, With Only The Desire To Use Pencil On Paper... But As My Eye Takes In What Is So Produced, A Point Arrives Where Some Idea Crystallizes, And Then A Control And Ordering Begins To Take Place.

The First Hole Made Through A Piece Of Stone Is A Revelation.
