My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.

I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.

For me, sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture.

I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total.

My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.

Women had to work like slaves in the art world, but a lot of men got to the top through their charm. And it hurt them. To be young and pretty didn't help a woman in the art world, because the social scene, and the buying scene, was in the hands of women - women who had money. They wanted male artists who would come alone and be their charming guests. Rothko could be very charming. It was a court. And the artist buffoons came to the court to entertain, to charm. Now it has changed, now the younger men are in - older women and younger men.

A work of art doesn't have to be explained.
