I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

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

I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.

I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.

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

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.
