There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.

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.

You can't help those who don't know they need help.

Consistent relevancy is to improve and advance more in understanding

That people you don’t know are worth knowing, that they have something to teach you. That learning about them – that encountering new ideas – doesn’t threaten you, it enriches you. (Celeste Ng)

Time like money is measured by our needs.

When a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.

By about the year 2000 Communist China will be a “superpower” built by American technology and skill.

The mind is a mill which can incessant turn, 'til its mere operation focus the stress inward and the stones grind themselves to dust.

For big Hollywood movies, I'm on the more character-driven side of the equation. So, TV is a natural place for me to be because you've got no choice, but to be character-driven.

Capitalism needs neither propaganda nor apostles. Its achievements speak for themselves. Capitalism delivers the goods.

So if you think being thin is enough to succeed in gymnastics, you're wrong.
