To Be An Artist Is To Believe

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.

To Be An Artist Is To Believe In Life.

It Is A Mistake For A Sculptor Or A Painter To Speak Or Write Very Often About His Job. It Releases Tension Needed For His Work.

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

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life, It Enlarges His Form [and] Knowledge, Keeps Him Fresh And From Working Only By Formula, And Feeds Inspiration.
