I think art must be the place where you are protected from the logic of the outside world.

I think my work is about the different strategies man has invented to deal with desire, frustration, fear of death, exhaustion. It's very much about life on earth.

Art has to maintain as large a space for interpretation as possible, and to protect itself from being too narrow.

In a way, the political cartoon drawings are things that are small and have humor and a childhood aesthetic and are often stronger to spread an opinion.

For me, it would be very difficult to express an opinion about our times without humor. I don't think you could do that.

Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?

Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it's full of curves and details, like a forest.

I'm interested in making works for museums in a way that make the space feel domestic, and I'm always thinking about how this work will be part of someone's daily life.

I want to experiment with new techniques and become a "traditional baroque artist."

I think humor is often a very powerful tool to be able to express ideas that are heavy.

I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

Loyalty and dedication can't be bought or paid to go away.

It's a sad thing to contemplate, but I'm the last surviving cast member of 'The African Queen.'

Shall we stop this bleeding?

I like to think that I get better and better as a writer, but it seems pretty easy to me to slip on disguises of various people.

I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.

Education is huge for me. I went to public school until I turned thirteen, and was lucky enough to afford college once I became successful as an actress.

The Word of God is like a lamp to guide us.

We grow fearless by walking into our fears.

Pity is akin to love.

For a small investment today we could be creating something that our grandchildren will thank us for
