I believe that the physical is the geography of the being.

I think all great innovations are built on rejections.

Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.

My husband's family was terribly refined. Within their circle you could know Beethoven, but God forbid if you were Beethoven.

And I saw darkness for weeks. It never dawned on me that I could come out of it, but you heal. Nature heals you, and you do come out of it. All of a sudden I saw a crack of light ... then all of a sudden I saw another crack of light. Then I saw forms in the light. And I recognized that there was no darkness, that in darkness there'll always be light.

We must create our own world.

Character is the architect of the being.
