"I want to be useful, to add something to the world, to be happy."

"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."

"I want to paint as much as I want, and I want to be able to live with my husband."

"I was born a bitch. I was born a painter. I was born fucked. But I was happy in my way."

"I am not a surrealist. I have never painted dreams. I have painted my own reality."
