It's just disgusting that in this society, the majority of students in art school are women, but they amount to less than 30% of what is shown in museums. That has not changed radically.

I've been very lucky being in New York. While there are many things that have impacted my life, I have been able to stay here and do my own work.

The point isn't to know what you're doing. The point is to have an experience doing something.

I first had no interest in figuration whatsoever.

I think a lot of making art is listening to yourself.

It was a very economically depressed time [the 80s] and because of that, there was a lot of space. Everything was relatively dilapidated, and one could live on a pretty low income. One could live well below the poverty line and not suffer immensely.

I love flying buttresses!
