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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.
I had a natural feeling for sculpture, and the nudes are my sculpture.
All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.
I'm showing some of my sculptures in Holland in the spring, so we'll see.
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
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'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.
I got so I was really just sick of sculpture.
I sculpted for four or five years. Mostly for my own amusement, I decided to do a picture book, and that was kind of a turning point.
I'm delighted. I don't know of anybody who had a statue built of them while they were living. It's a great feeling.
