I didn't have any interest in traditional art.

Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe.

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.

Casting is sort of like looking at paintings. You don't know what you'll like, but you recognize it when you see it.

I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.

Sometimes it's all about the casting.

Casting is very, very important.

There was this enormous burst of sculptural creative juice in the nineteenth century, and all that stuff is just so decorative. Even in pieces cast from a mold, you get a more sensuous, handmade, individual sense from it.
