I have lived on a razors edge. So what if you fall off. I'd rather be doing something I wanted to do. I'd walk it again.

I never knew [Alfred Stieglitz] to make a trip anywhere to photograph. His eye was in him, and he used it on anything that was nearby. Maybe that way he was always photographing himself.

It is really so nice here-country-busy-busy with so many different kinds of things-... I must say I feel far away in another world here-... always we go to a new place...the people have a kind of gentleness that isn't usual on the mainland.

It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve.

I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all woman, as well as all of me.

We'd make love. Afterwards he would take photographs of me. (On modeling for Alfred Stieglitz)

A flower is relatively small... Still in a way-nobody sees a flower-so I said to myself-I'll paint it big.
