felt sort
I've always been more slight, and I've always sort of felt that I needed to be protected, especially with so many rowdy brothers and sisters.
died focusing people realized
From 1989 to 2000, I was focusing in on my children. I hadn't realized the world had changed a lot. AIDS had happened, for starters, and so many people in the arts died or were affected.
art life minor played somehow
My life has always somehow been played out in a minor key, unresolved. Art somehow resolves things for me.
outrageous people
There are a lot of people who do a lot of things to be outrageous with fashion, hair or makeup.
Normally, you should be dead if you have a retrospective.
home permanent quite
It's quite nice to have a place to leave things. You can be a permanent gypsy, but it's nice to go home.
involved love meet quite time wonderful
Love is agony, isn't it? I've been involved with someone for some time now, but it's all so complicated. It's never straightforward is it? You meet someone, you fall in love, it's the most wonderful thing ever but... There's always something that's not quite right about love, isn't there?

Seasons are really annoying. You get a really great pair of shoes or a beautiful pair of boots, and then you try to get them again four months later, and they say, 'Oh no, that was last season.'
certain choir extra family heard lessons nearly
I have a four-and-a-half-, nearly five-octave range. I probably should have had extra lessons as a child, as I am certain my family heard my potential, but I didn't. I was in the choir as a schoolgirl, but really, it is all self-taught.
art bad clothes clothing collect people piece rap though
I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art, even though people who collect clothes get a bad rap because they're told it's all vanity.
avoid block choose clean contain cuts drawn generally loose structure tend
My style is difficult to contain in a sentence; it's ever evolving. Generally I'm drawn to clean cuts and avoid patterns. I tend to choose structure and block colors, but these are all just loose guidelines.
astonished people
I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, I'm kind of astonished because I think, 'This is completely normal. This is just how I am, it's how I've always been.'
bags love
Oh, I love tea. I have to take tea bags wherever I go.
switch
Switch off reality TV! I've only ever been able watch about 30 seconds of it.
