The First Hole Made Through A Piece

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.

One Never Knows What Each Day Is Going To Bring. The Important Thing Is To Be Open And Ready For It.

Never Think Of The Surface Except As An Extension Of A Volume.

The Construction Of The Human Figure, Its Tremendous Variety Of Balance, Of Size, Of Rhythm, All Those Things Make The Human Form Much More Difficult To Get Right In A Drawing Than Anything Else.

If I Set Out To Sculpt A Standing Man And It Becomes A Lying Woman, I Know I Am Making Art.
