mother mentor sympathetic
My mother was very sympathetic. She was the one who really gave me the courage to take my freedom.
men differences stronger
A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.
men justice social-justice
The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.
powerful mean men
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful.
love-is men artist
I feel totally female. I didn't compete with men and I don't want to look like a man! I love being a lady and dressing up and masquerading and wearing all the fineries. I'm breaking down the idea that the artist has to look poor, with berets.
teacher school artist
Early in school, they called me 'the artist.' When teachers wanted things painted, they called upon me, they called upon 'the artist.' I am not saying that I learned my name, animals can learn their names, I am saying that they learned it.
life-is ends
In the end, as you get older and older, your life is your life, and you are alone with it.
angel voice drawing
There's no denying that Caruso came with a voice?that Beethoven came with music in his soul, Picasso was drawing like an angel in the crib.You're born with it.
white trying pieces
You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.
I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy.
art teaching firsts
I've taught, and the first thing I did when I taught art, was not to teach art.
gambling risk pressure
The outside wold pressures you into a mold, but if you don't accept that - you gamble with life. Call it gambling.
world april
We must create our own world.
kind birth surprise
Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.
