I have lots of objects. Every object has a story, which makes me think I should write a story about every object.

I never made "feminist art," and if I did it was not deliberate.

I have made on occasion posters and things like that for political reasons but not my work.

There was a great sense of community mainly among the women artists at the time because we felt left out. I still know most of the women that I knew then, the ones that are still alive.

When I graduated from high school, this is in Los Angeles, I was very interested in taking a trip to Mexico to see the archeological sites. So three other people and myself drove down there.

One of the reasons that I went to Mexico aside from the Maya and the pre-Columbian aspect of it was that I wanted to work with [Diego] Rivera, which I did, on a mural that he was painting at the time. But at some point I realized that I wasn't going to be a political artist, it just wasn't in my repertoire.

Fortunately, when we have all our marbles, we can shift our memories very quickly.
