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.

Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.

Talking about unpleasant things during a meal is not good for digestion, not good for health.

I didn't like Army life. I didn't like taking orders. I didn't like discipline. I didn't like being yelled at. You'd get 10 years for punching a sergeant so I couldn't punch a sergeant.

I'm getting fat ... as I planned. Luckily, my gut is intentional. I'm actually preparing for a big role. Sure, it's a cinnamon roll.

I am only doing now what I have ever done; and ever will continue to do - that is adapting past experience to present reform in the light of high ideals and future objects.

Michael Jordan was a cultural icon that everybody on the playground wanted to be. The Bulls dynasty was a huge part of my childhood and it was the peak of my basketball interest as a kid.

But persistent name calling? that prolongs hurt. It stretches out. Each nasty word stretches the rubber band further away until finally, one day, it snaps back at you with maximum impact

Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.

You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.

I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
