People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that. ↗

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination. ↗

Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture. ↗

I tried to use the questions and answers as an armature on which to build a sculpture of genuine conversation. ↗

Playwrights have texts, composers have scores, painters and sculptors have the residue of those activities, and dance is traditionally an ephemeral, effervescent, here-today-gone-tomorrow kind of thing. ↗

The Greek sculptor - I don't think he was very different from any of us. ↗

You wouldn't ask Rodin to make an ugly sculpture, or me to make a film with an ugly woman. ↗

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately. ↗

Writing, music, sculpting, painting, and prayer! These are the three things that are most closely related! Writers, musicians, sculptors, painters, and the faithful are the ones who make things out of nothing. Everybody else, they make things out of something, they have materials! But a written work can be done with nothing, it can begin in the soul! A musical piece begins with a harmony in the soul, a sculpture begins with a formless, useless piece of rock chiseled and formed and molded into the thing that was first conceived in the sculptor's heart! A painting can be carried inside the mind for a lifetime, before ever being put onto paper or canvass! And a prayer! A prayer is a thought, a remembrance, a whisper, a communion, that is from the soul going to what cannot be seen, yet it can move mountains! And so I believe that these five things are interrelated, these five kinds of people are kin. ↗

I have been criticized rather strenuously by painters and sculptors for not incorporating their work in our buildings. ↗
