I am a New Yorker, one; I'm an artist, two; I'm a woman, three.

There are plenty of ways you can play the game of fighting and really seem to be fighting without going for the jugular.

If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?

As a New Yorker, I'm someone who lives on an island and looks across to America.

I wanted to impress people because I was kind of a kid who was lost in the crowd - was sort of my, feeling about childhood was being part of a big family.

If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.

I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.
