There's no precedent for women philosophers and there's no precedence for most of the things I did.

I never considered myself a performance artist.

The tree is made by nature, mathematics by people. And combining the two is creating this beautiful alliance between humanity and nature. That's why my forests are mathematical expansion systems, all of them.

Public art existed all along, but ecological art just naturally grew out of my thinking and writings in that area for years. I didn't get involved in it; I started what then became a movement.

I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.

I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

I wish I didn't have daily problems to deal with, so that I could just concentrate on learning more, every single day.
