A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.

I'm a work horse. I like to work. I always did. I think that there is such a thing as energy, creation overflowing. And I always felt that I have this great energy and it was bound to sort of burst at the seams, so that my work automatically took its place with a mind like mine. I've never had a day when I didn't want to work. I've never had a day like that. And I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy. I just feel that I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working. ... In my studio I'm as happy as a cow in her stall.

I never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.

We must create our own world.

The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.

I was given the gifts of the artist, and the trouble that goes with them: So I have that blessing, and there was never a time thatI questioned it or doubted it.... For forty years, I wanted to jump out of windows.

I've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.
