kindness character be-kind
Character is the architect of the being.
next-week waiting pieces
When you are doing a piece you are with it. You don't want to wait until next week, when experience will have given you something else.
world saws made
I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside.
world april
We must create our own world.
world boring middle
I never liked the middle ground-the most boring place in the world.
artist giving advice
I only know this - that you can’t give advice to an artist.
spiritual people together
When you put things together, things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.
clothes creating
Everytime I put on clothes, I’m creating a picture.
want stills fulfilled
I still want to do my work. I still want to do my livingness. And I have lived. I have been fulfilled. I recognized what I had, and I never sold it short. And I ain't through yet.
powerful mean men
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful.
love-is men artist
I feel totally female. I didn't compete with men and I don't want to look like a man! I love being a lady and dressing up and masquerading and wearing all the fineries. I'm breaking down the idea that the artist has to look poor, with berets.
cows studios
In my studio I'm as happy as a cow in her stall. That's the only place where everything is all right.
gambling risk pressure
The outside wold pressures you into a mold, but if you don't accept that - you gamble with life. Call it gambling.
horse work thinking
I'm a work horse. I like to work. I always did. I think that there is such a thing as energy, creation overflowing. And I always felt that I have this great energy and it was bound to sort of burst at the seams, so that my work automatically took its place with a mind like mine. I've never had a day when I didn't want to work. I've never had a day like that. And I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy. I just feel that I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working. ... In my studio I'm as happy as a cow in her stall.
