The whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.

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.

I've married a few people I shouldn't have but haven't we all?

There is truly no other business in the world like making movies. It's unique, it's extremely demanding and difficult, but it's also the most rewarding.

And okay, fair enough, but there is this unwritten contract between author and reader and I think not ending your book kind of violates that contract.

My business was born out of my frustration with other cashback schemes. I wanted a more curated service than the other sites offer.

It's so disappointing, to put it mildly, that people know so much about my life. Because it means that they're always trying to look at my books in terms of my life.

True definition of science: the study of the beauty of the world.

Winter was nothing but a season of snow; spring, allergies; and summer...It was the worst. That was swimsuit season.
