As a kid, I lived in a fantasy world. I used to believe ants could talk. Not once did they say thank you.
From Willard Wigan
I heard someone say that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. I decided to sculpt camels in a needle.
I'm like a mad professor, but without the spiky hair.
When you work at a microscopic level, you have to control every part of your body movement - your fingertips, your joints, the pulse in your fingers.
I'm just honoring my mother's words. She always told me, 'The smaller your work, the bigger your name will become.'
When I was a kid, I had trouble at school because of my learning disabilities. Carving is my body compensating for the lack of other skills.
Flying helicopters is what I do for fun.
The microscopic world became my obsession.
I became obsessed with making more and more tiny things. I think I was trying to find a way of compensating for my embarrassment at having learning difficulties: people had made me feel small so I wanted to show them how significant 'small' could be.
People find it very, very difficult to believe what I've done. Scientists have seen my work and they can't explain it. Even nano-scientists have seen it and been totally shocked. But if any man on Earth wants to challenge me, I'm ready. Bring it on.
