I'm interested in the idea of something being art because someone says it is.
Every ton of ore tells a story; our job is to read it wisely.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
Success is not just about what you achieve, but who you become in the process.
