The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.

If you don't have a father, you don't miss it, because you don't know what it is. It was really only when I married Wyatt Cooper that I understood what it was like to have a father, because he was just an extraordinary father.

Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before... and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself.

If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.

Nobody should get married at 17.

In anything there has to be dark and light. There's a lot of joy in my paintings and a lot of darkness.

The heart of another is a dark forest.
