To most people who look at a mobile, it's no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry.

If you can imagine a thing, conjure it up in space then you can make it... The universe is real but you can't see it. You have to imagine it. Then you can be realistic about reproducing it.

When everything goes right a mobile is a piece of poetry that dances with the joy of life and surprise!

Above all, art should be fun.

I shared a room with my parents until I was 7, and I lived with my uncles and aunts and my cousins and my grandfather... so the house was always full of people.

The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted

You cannot underestimate the importance of preparation.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.

Men measure not only other men, but all other things, by themselves.

A toothache will cost a battle, a drizzle cancel an insurrection.
