जब कोई घोड़ों की मूर्तियाँ बनाता है, तो उसे इंसानों और घोड़ों के उस पुराने शानदार रिश्ते की याद आ जाती है.....आज के दौर में भी घोड़ों को सिर्फ घुड़सवारी (ड्रेसाज), रेस या सैर-सपाटे के लिए ही पाला जाता है। पश्चिम में अब यह उपयोगिता खो चुका एक ऐसा जानवर बन गया है जो महज़ रोमान्स और शौक़ का प्रतीक बनकर रह गया है।
When one makes sculptures of horses, one remembers all of that great relationship that humans had with them.....Even today one raises horses only for dressage, the races, for the pleasure of horseback riding. It has become an animal of romance, an animal of pleasure which has lost its utility in the West.

जब मैं एक शैली से दूसरी शैली की तरफ़ बढ़ रहा था, तो मैं ऐसे सवालों के जवाब नहीं देना चाहता था कि 'तुम ऐसा क्यों कर रहे हो?' या 'तुम वैसा क्यों कर रहे हो?' इसलिए मैंने अपने स्टूडियो में किसी को आने की इजाज़त नहीं दी और बस चुपचाप वहीं काम करता रहा।
When I was making a shift... from one thing to another I didn't want to be answering questions: 'How come you're doing this?' 'How come you're doing that?' so I didn't allow anyone in my studio and I just worked away in there.

मैंने हर तरह की चीज़ों और अलग-अलग सामग्रियों का इस्तेमाल किया; यह लकड़ी है, और यह अलग-अलग तरह की मिट्टी को गूँथकर बनाई गई है, जिसमें ग्लेज और ऐसी ही अन्य चीज़ें शामिल हैं।
I used anything, various materials; this is wood, and this is mixed up clay, wedged together, clay with glazes and stuff like that.

पाँच प्रतिशत माँगना बहुत ज़्यादा नहीं लगता, जब आप यह सोचते हैं कि कलाकार बरसों-बरस की अपनी मेहनत के ज़रिए ही अपनी कलाकृति के बढ़ते हुए मूल्य के लिए मुख्य रूप से ज़िम्मेदार होता है।
Five percent seems very little to ask when you consider that the artist, through his or her efforts over many years, is largely responsible for the increased value of their work.

टोरंटो के वित्तीय केंद्र में उनकी कृति "द पास्चर" में काँसे की बनी गायें दिखाई गई हैं—मैं स्टॉकब्रोकरों को यह याद दिलाना चाहता था कि असली स्टॉक (पशुधन) क्या होता है।
His work "The Pasture" features cast bronze cows in Toronto's financial district I wanted to remind stockbrokers what real stock is.

मैंने सोचा, 'चलो, लोगों का थोड़ा मनोरंजन ही कर देता हूँ।' लंच के समय, जब सब फैकल्टी क्लब और इधर-उधर गए हुए थे, मैंने स्कूल के गलियारे में कई सारे बेस लगा दिए और अपने बनाए हुए सारे पोर्ट्रेट्स उन पर सजा दिए... और फिर प्रतिक्रिया का इंतज़ार करने लगा... और इस तरह मैंने अपने आस-पास के लोगों के पोर्ट्रेट्स बनाने का सिलसिला फिर से शुरू किया।
I thought, 'Well, I'll amuse people a little bit.' During lunch hour, while everyone was off to the faculty club and this and that, I set up a bunch of bases down the hallway of the school and I put all of the portraits I had completed... and I waited for the reaction.... that's how I got started again, doing portraits of people around me.

लेकिन आखिरकार मैंने पोर्ट्रेट्स को छोटी-छोटी मिट्टी की आकृतियों में बदलना शुरू कर दिया, जिससे वे किसी के व्यक्तित्व को गहराई से दिखाने के बजाय कैरिकेचर (हास्यास्पद या व्यंग्यात्मक चित्र) जैसे ज़्यादा लगने लगे।
But eventually I moved the portraiture into the smaller clay things which gave them more of a caricature look to them, rather than a characterization.
