« [La sculpture] jouit d’une forme de puissance dont est dépourvue la peinture. Une sculpture peut résister aux flammes, et probablement à une explosion nucléaire. Immortelle, la sculpture évoque une sensation profonde et immuable à travers les âges. En un sens, tout est ainsi : chacune de nos actions traduit notre quête d’immortalité. »
“[Sculpture] has a kind of power that a painting doesn't have. You can't burn it. It would survive a nuclear blast probably. It has this permanent, real feeling that will exist much, much longer than I will ever exist, so it's a kind of immortality. All of it I guess, to a degree, is like that... All of the things that you make are a kind of quest for immortality.“
