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.

When you put things together, things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.

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

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

If you have got a living force and you're not using it, nature kicks you back. The blood boils just like you put it in a pot.

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

Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of an innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise. ... Each piece seems to have a life of its own. Every little piece or every big piece that I make becomes a very living thing to me, very living. I could make a million pieces; the next piece gives me a whole new thing. It is a new center. Life is total at that particular time. And that's why it's right. That reaffirms my life.
