To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.

To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if Im inspired by the results.

I was a 'runaway girl' from France who married an American and moved to New York City. I'm not sure I would have continued as an artist had I remained in Paris because of the family setup.

Artists are born not made. There's nothing you can do for them.

It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.
