I was in that generation where I was torn if you should put it on the web because you're giving it away for free but you also want people to see your work.

Sometimes you divorce a part of yourself to save yourself emotionally.

If I want to do something in the TV industry, I should be allowed to explore that, but not in a way where it has to cancel out or ruin my visual art career.

Every artist's world is an individual experience and no one thing can prepare you. You have to go in and go where those roles lead you - just allow it to happen and follow your path.

Sometimes I just cringe. I can feel the emotion, that whole anxiety of being in this new world that I sort of evolved into. I would just do it, put it out there, and go for it.

As artists, sometimes our work is chaotic; we don't easily communicate our needs to other people in a way that they understand.

If you want to be somewhere, you should go to that place and check it out.

I realized that was what was happening in my work already. I think that's where, as artists, we begin to master our craft: when we're able to step back and understand things.

God's love and mercy are for all people.

It's much more interesting to embrace who you really are rather than waste energy pretending to be someone else.

Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.

I had told my agents that I never wanted to do an hour-long TV show. I said, "I'm not that stupid." Because it's the worst lifestyle in Hollywood.

Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.

To be free comes not from changing or fixing this world, but from seeing this world as it is and opening the heart in the midst of it.

We speak of educating our children. Do we know that our children also educate us?
