I like Betsy Ross as a model, too, the quilting bee, sitting around with your friends making art, asking what they think, so that you get the benefit of everyone's opinions and so it's not just about you in your you-dom.

When studio art started being seen as important, I joined Colab, and then I became very involved.

The point of art is that it always has the necessity to expand because people are inherently expanding.

The miracle of being able to pay attention to other people in your life, and the miracle of being in time, and to continue being in time.

You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I'm given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one's own vision.

Things that are very significant and important to you when constructing an identity when you're younger change.

It is very different when you age. The things that are significant, or what drives you, or the physical experience of being driven, changes over time.
