The thing with sculpture is, 90% of the time, when I pass a piece of sculpture, it's in public or somewhere, and it's just, how inconvenient that that's there. It takes up so much room, and it's so oppressive.

I had wanted to be a sculptor throughout life, but to do so, I had to stop painting.

Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.

I like to think of myself as kind of a sculptor, only I sculpt people.

I love my sculptures, and I was lucky I had them for 50 years because no one would look at them, and I really liked having them around.

Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.

People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that.

At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.

There's always constantly interesting things to do, and who knows, maybe I will be a good sculptor. I haven't decided what I am going to do next, but I am not going to quit just because I did something interesting.
