Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.
