Nothing Raises The Price Of A Blessing

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.

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.

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

You Must Always Be Open To Your Luck. You Cannot Force It, But You Can Recognize It.

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.
