It Gave Me Great Pleasure

A White Lace Curtain On The Window Was For Me As Important As A Great Work Of Art. This Gossamer Quality, The Reflection, The Form, The Movement. I Learned More About Art From That Than I Did In School.

Another Thing About Creation Is That Every Day It Is Like It Gave Birth, And It's Always Kind Of An Innocent And Refreshing. So It's Always Virginal To Me, And It's Always A Surprise. ... Each Piece Seems To Have A Life Of Its Own. Every Little Piece Or Every Big Piece That I Make Becomes A Very Living Thing To Me, Very Living. I Could Make A Million Pieces; The Next Piece Gives Me A Whole New Thing. It Is A New Center. Life Is Total At That Particular Time. And That's Why It's Right. That Reaffirms My Life.

It's A Hell Of A Thing To Be Born, And If You're Born You're At Least Entitled To Your Own Self.

I Never Liked The Middle Ground-the Most Boring Place In The World.

In My Studio I'm As Happy As A Cow In Her Stall. That's The Only Place Where Everything Is All Right.
