Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

To be an artist is to believe in life.

One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.

If I set out to sculpt a standing man and it becomes a lying woman, I know I am making art.

Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.

The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.

The important thing is somehow to begin.

In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.

A sculptor is a person obsessed with the form and the shape of things, and it's not just Ihe shape of any one thing, but the shape of any thing and everything.

The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration.

A good husband should always bore his wife.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see.

You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.

So here we are, just two months away from the election, with more and more examples that modern day Jim Crowe laws are alive and well in the state of Florida.

Being a celebrity, you can remain a child for ever, almost. You get away with more; you can get too pampered and it's not healthy.

It is hard to go on living without some hope of encountering the extraordinary.

Change happens from the bottom up - all of us as individuals deciding that we will and we do have an impact.

Death to a good man is his release from the imprisonment of this world, and his departure to the enjoyments of another world.
