Georgia O'Keeffe

I don't think I'm very good at talking.

I don't want to be anyone's wife. I want to be myself.

I am not a photographer. I am a painter.

I have lived a very long time, and I have seen many things.

I don't like to be told what to do.

I have always been very much alone.

I don't think there's any such thing as a woman artist. There's only artists.

I don't want to die. I want to live forever.

I don't want to be a great woman artist. I want to be a great artist.

I didn't have time to be a wife. I was too busy being an artist.

I never painted to please anyone.

I don't want to be a part of any group.

I have to be myself. I can't be anyone else.

I have always been interested in the unknown.

I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.

I don't like compliments. I like to be left alone.

I have always been very independent.

I don't want to be a legend. I want to be a human being.

I have always been a little wild.

I don't care what people think of me.
