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

We must create our own world.

I only know this - that you can’t give advice to an artist.

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

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.

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 innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.
