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

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.

I just wanna look up at the moonI wonder if he's looking at it too

You need your speace to strech your wings.You will learn in the due time to fly higher.

My job ... I do nothing, it pays nothing, but - you guessed it - it's better than nothing.

I'm interested in questions my son asks me, like, "Why do animals fight? Why do you have to leave us to go on the road?" Everything he asks gets me thinking.

He who is only just is cruel; who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
