"I said to myself, 'I'm going to paint what I see, not what I'm supposed to see.'"
"I don't particularly like flowers. I paint them because they are cheaper than models and they don't move."
"I have always had a very strong sense of my own direction."
"The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters."
"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."
