I'm in a serious monogamous relationship, and I don't want to keep having different boyfriends, and I have this instead - with men and women. It's better. Instead of having sex, we have art.

One good thing about being a woman is we haven't too many examples yet of what a genius looks like. It could be me.

I've always had individual friends, but I didn't find the people I wanted to learn from as an adult until my midtwenties.

It has long been known to me that certain objects want you as much as you want them. These are the ones that become important, the objects that you hold dear. The others fade from your life entirely. You wanted them, but they did not want you in return.

Somehow I had turned myself into the worst thing in the world: I was just another man who wanted to teach me something!

I spend most of my time in my head. You can always work out solutions and satisfactions there. Maybe you can't actually bring them about, but there's usually a pleasant pillow of time between imagining you can, and realizing you cannot.

It's fun to give pleasure to people.
