"I have always been interested in the earth. The way it feels under my feet."

"I have always been very much alone."

"I have always been interested in the starkness. The way it reveals the essence."

"I found that I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for."

"Singing has always seemed to me a very foolish thing to do. I like to keep my mouth shut."
