I have painted portraits that to me are almost photographic. I remember hesitating to show the paintings, they looked so real to me. But they have passed into the world as abstractions - no one seeing what they are.

I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.

Imagination makes you see all sorts of things.

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 hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

I know I am unreasonable about people but there are so many wonderful people whom I can't take the time to know.

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