“…there is something that you’ve put into the figure that gives it a life that is other than your own and I think that is an extraordinary thing to be able to do. It’s like a little bit of magic. The process is fascinating and I think that’s what keeps me constantly working – you are constantly trying to magic something outside yourself.” – James Butler
