I cannot expect even my own art to provide all of the answers, only to hope it keeps asking the right questions.

Somehow, in painting I try to make some logic out of the world that has been given to me in chaos.

I perceive the world in fragments. It is somewhat like being on a very fast train and getting glimpses of things in strange scales as you pass by. A person can be very, very tiny. And a billboard can make a person very large. You see the corner of a house or you see a bird fly by, and it's all fragmented. Somehow, in painting I try to make some logic out of the world that has been given to me in chaos. I have a very pretentious idea that I want to make life, I want to make sense out of it. The fact that I am doomed to failure - that doesn't deter me in the least.

If you're an extraordinarily gifted woman, the door is open. What women are fighting for is the right to be as mediocre as men.

I don't mind being miserable as long as I'm painting well.
