Artists have to be useful. They have to fill a role.

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

I am a lonely runner, but I am a long-distance runner.

It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture.

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

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 always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.
