What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.

No matter how individual we humans are, we are a composite of everything we are aware of. We are a mirror of our times.

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.

When you are doing a piece you are with it. You don't want to wait until next week, when experience will have given you something else.

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

I always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

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.
