So women are at the beginning of building a language, and not all women are conscious of it.

Remember our heritage is our power; we can know ourselves and our capacities by seeing that other women have been strong.

I think what's important is to give space to the range of human experience.

People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.

You shouldn't have to justify your work.

I am trying to make art that relates to the deepest and most mythic concerns of human kind and I believe that, at this moment of history, feminism is humanism.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And thats definitely changed.
