I Sometimes Draw Just For Its Own

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.

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.

Art Is The Expression Of Imagination, Not The Reproduction Of Reality.

A Work Can Have In It A Pent-up Energy, An Intense Life Of Its Own, Independent Of The Subject It May Represent.

The Creative Habit Is Like A Drug. The Particular Obsession Changes, But The Excitement, The Thrill Of Your Creation Lasts.
