And certainly the history of public sculpture has been disastrous but that doesn't mean it ought not to continue and the only way it even has a chance to continue is if the work gets out into the public.

Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.

Labor should not be about creating monuments on hills or statues in parks. Labor's monuments and statues are when a young person can find a job, when a person with disability can get access to the ordinary life that others take for granted.

I'm not a sculptor; I'm a hard-edged model maker. You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from 'Star Wars' - especially parts from 'Star Wars' - I can do this stuff all day long. It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years.

America, the temple of invention and industry, doesn't make things anymore.

Owners of valuable works of art don't give to institutions that don't provide good air conditioning and have good shows.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

Sculpture will last a lot longer than painting.

Nothing they design ever gets in the way of a work of art.
