Carrying something in inventory [JENS - NEED HELP PLEASE]

[Apjjm]

I want it to speak to the player when it collidies with certain script areas.

Do you want the player to drop the statue and carry it when he wants it to speak? If so, How does the player pick the statue back up again if he is carrying it?
Or do you want the player to "drop" the statue in specific spots (e.g on some kind of pedestal) when the statue can speak?
