I've been using a computer for quite some time, and I don't understand everything.

against art artillery built convinced enemies heavy public scene threw
My reputation was built on hostility. I had no friends and some very virulent enemies in the old-guard art scene when I began. They threw their heavy artillery against me. They were convinced I was perverting the public taste.
human jealous man married
I married a man who was jealous about everything. If I got enthusiastic about a book, about a flower, about a place, about a human being - jealous. 'Don't do it! Stop.' It was depressing, and I couldn't take it.

There are three things we have no control over: our birth; our emotions, if we're sincere; and our death.
agreed decided typical work
My husband wanted me to be a typical socialite. We never agreed on anything, so finally we decided it wasn't going to work.
I've been working in sculpture and painting since 1920.
I'm so American that I had grandfathers who actually fought a battle against each other.

A lot of artists fell in love with me over the years.
