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.

I think people should think a million times before they give birth. The guilts of motherhood were the worst guilts in the world for me. They were really insurmountable. You see, you are depriving another human being of so many things, and the other party also knows it.

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.

You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.

I make collages. I join the shattered world creating a new harmony.

My mother was very sympathetic. She was the one who really gave me the courage to take my freedom.

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