I don't see how you can create and not have the feeling that it is the most important, all-consuming thing.

I cannot expect even my own art to provide all of the answers, only to hope it keeps asking the right questions.

I don't mind being miserable as long as I'm painting well.

If you're an extraordinarily gifted woman, the door is open. What women are fighting for is the right to be as mediocre as men.

Now as before it is the vulgar and the vital and the possibility of its transformation into the beautiful which continues to challenge and fascinate me.

Somehow, in painting I try to make some logic out of the world that has been given to me in chaos.

I didn't choose painting, it chose me.I didn't have a talent,i just had genius

A woman or a man creating feel very much the same way.

Pop Art is not painting because painting must have content and emotion.

Classic of '43. Don't knock it. A Vintage year.

These are the days that matter NOW!

Your greatest acts result from your greatest love.

Isn't it weird? The way you remember things when it's gone.

I've written a lot of books which are written from the moon - the view from nowhere.

I often cannot believe the things I do.

Those only are despicable who fear to be despised.

Just so sure as one puts on any old rag, and thinks nobody will come, company is sure to call.

That's one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: Ignore the awful times and concentrate on the good ones.

I hate learning lines, so the fight stuff's always my favorite.
