The simple fact of yourself... there it is... just you... no excitement about it... a very simple fact... the only thing you have... keep it as clear as you can.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

When people read erotic symbols into my painting, they're really thinking about their own affairs.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

...the pleasure of finally making a clean break into misery after always dangling above it's canyon...

Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide.

We are all ONE, no matter in what form, space or time. As ONE we can change the world if we start changing ourselves.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

I never think about what people are going think about me.

In too many cases, if our Government had set out determined to destroy the family, it couldn't have done greater damage than some of what we see today.

Universities are very clarifying places of power, because everyone is focused on trying to figure out exactly what to do with their lives.

When you've finished using a car, put the f***ing seat back, so humans can use it afterwards.

I used to be so delusional. I always imagined I could be more than I was, and eventually I grew and evolved into that person.

I was a little jealous of the levitation cloak but I was happy to be comfortable [on Doctor Strange set].
