For my entire life, I've felt as if I had something to say in terms of sculpture. It's a very strong desire...Pleasure—that of touching the new reality that you create. Certainly, in a painting, you give the illusion of truth, but with sculpture, you can touch its reality. . . If I paint a knife in my pictures, it's imaginary, but if I sculpt it, then the sensation of having it in your hand is real— it's an object from your spirit, it's a sensual experience even in its execution. It brings a special joy to touch the material with your hands.

在我的一生中，我一直覺得自己在雕塑這個領域非常有表達欲。這是一種非常強烈的願望……一種滿足感——能夠觸摸由你創造的新現實。當然，繪畫時常給人一種接近真實的幻象，但透過雕塑，你可以觸摸到它的真實… 如果我在畫一把刀，它是想像的，但如果我雕刻它，那麼把它拿在手裡的感覺就是真實的——它是一個來自你精神的物體，即使在創造它的過程中也是一種全新的感官體驗。用手觸摸材料為我帶來一種特殊的樂趣。
