I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.

Some people think or expect that you should make the same kinds of art forever because it creates a convenient narrative... I want my work to embody my inherent contradictions.

The point isn't to know what you're doing. The point is to have an experience doing something.

I trust my work. It's a collaboration with the material, and when it's viewed, it's a collaboration with the world.

I think making things beautiful is important. But often what's first considered ugly is beautiful, too.

Artists live in unknown spaces and give themselves over to following something unknown.

Making art is a lot about just seeing what happens if you put some energy into something.

Our culture seems to believe that it's entertaining to teach women to be frightened.

Prints mimic what we are as humans: we are all the same and yet every one is different. I think there's a spiritual power in repetition, a devotional quality, like saying rosaries.

One hopes that each piece contains enough space for several narratives.

It’s one of my loose theories that Catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

While pimples are not as simple as too much milk or sugar in your diet, both have a significant impact. Nutritional deficiencies as well as excesses can worsen acne.

Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.

They're just opinions, what people say about you. None of that stuff's true. The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself.

Post-modernism is dead because it didn't address human needs.

I think a lot of people are afraid of freedom. They want their lives to be controlled, to be put into a box... Why should someone put a limit on how much fun I can have, how much I can accomplish?

I'm just a relationship girl. I fall in love and I usually have long relationships. I like getting to know people well and having substantive, long relationships.

I really hated school and so I just wanted to stay home and watch 'I Love Lucy' and watch the movies that inspired me to the point where we are sitting here.

Sometimes you're up against everybody in the whole world - even your friends and family are saying, "You need a single." You feel sometimes incredibly alone.

Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.
