Do be true to yourself, whether it's bad doesn't matter. The important thing - you have to copy while you're studying. And culture is - each of us - is like one pearl added to another to make a chain. We each contribute to the other. And that's all right. But once you're on your own, do that which comes from within. And I feel this very strongly.

I was in a convent for a year.

But, you see, the theatre is not always art in America.

I'm not too interested in books about India.

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

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic.
