An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing.

To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if Im inspired by the results.

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

In my sculpture, it's not an image I am seeking, it's not an idea. My goal is to re-live a past emotion. My art is an exorcism, and beauty is something I never talk about.

My art is a form of restoration in terms of my feelings to myself and to others.

I was a runaway girl from France who married an American and moved to New York City. Im not sure I would have continued as an artist had I remained in Paris because of the family setup.

I have been to hell and back, and let me tell you, it was wonderful.
