You Must Create Your Own

In The First Grade, I Already Knew The Pattern Of My Life. I Didn't Know The Living Of It, But I Knew The Line… From The First Day In School Until The Day I Graduated, Everyone Gave Me One Hundred Plus In Art. Well, Where Do You Go In Life? You Go To The Place Where You Got One Hundred Plus.

I Was Given The Gifts Of The Artist, And The Trouble That Goes With Them: So I Have That Blessing, And There Was Never A Time Thati Questioned It Or Doubted It.... For Forty Years, I Wanted To Jump Out Of Windows.

I Think Most Artists Create Out Of Despair. The Very Nature Of Creation Is Not A Performing Glory On The Outside, It's A Painful, Difficult Search Within.

I Think People Should Think A Million Times Before They Give Birth. The Guilts Of Motherhood Were The Worst Guilts In The World For Me. They Were Really Insurmountable. You See, You Are Depriving Another Human Being Of So Many Things, And The Other Party Also Knows It.

I Have Made My World And It Is A Much Better World Than I Ever Saw Outside.
