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

Everytime I put on clothes, I’m creating a picture.

I never for one minute questioned what I had to do. I did not think for one minute that I didn't have what I had. If just didn't dawn on me. And so if you know what you have, then you know that there's nobody on earth that can affect you.

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

You must create your own world. I am responsible for my world.

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.
