I began to stack my sculptures into an environment. It was natural. It was a flowing of energy.

But when I fell in love with black, it contained all color. It wasn’t a negation of color. It was an acceptance. Because black encompasses all colors. Black is the most aristocratic color of all.... You can be quiet and it contains the whole thing.

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.

I think all great innovations are built on rejections.

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.

I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working.
