The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.

In the end, as you get older and older, your life is your life, and you are alone with it.

I never liked the middle ground-the most boring place in the world.

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 never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.

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.

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.
