The most powerful part of the art is experiential, yet it's the hardest to describe because it's nonverbal.

Art is difficult.
The impulse for me to want to make sculpture is because I want to make statements, really, on a purely emotional level. And it's also somewhat of a challenge to see how that can be done with materials and objects that really are not emotional, in and of themselves.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
All art to me is an empathetic act. Whoever's telling a story is trying to transfer emotion into someone else.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.
Art is all a matter of personality.
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
I feel that all good art is powerful and simple.
