The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.

Life with another person is always difficult.

Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.

You know, something happened to me when I became 70. I started to feel a tremendous love for the human race, and life and this planet, the universe, the whole shebang.

If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy.

Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.

I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
