• ¿Cómo conseguir un pensamiento utópico en un mundo distópico? Estos días no estamos hablando entre nosotros: estamos gritando y tratando de golpearnos en la cabeza con piedras y palos. Una furia primitiva ha sido desatada por un presidente que no tiene cultura, que no sabe leer y que quiere determinar el poder y la agresión.

• Mis profesores siempre me decían: "Tienes mucho talento, pero no te dediques al arte. Sólo eres una niña". Me inspiré en Virginia Woolf en 1960, pero no me dejaron escribir sobre ella. Decían que era una trivializadora. También quería hacer un trabajo sobre Simone de Beauvoir, y mi profesor de filosofía me dijo: "¿Por qué escribes sobre la amante? Escribe sobre el maestro". Ese era Sartre.

• I assume the senses crave sources of maximum information, that the eye benefits by exercise, stretch, and expansion towards materials of complexity and substance, . . . conditions which alert the total sensibility - cast it almost in stress - extend insight and response, the basic responsive range of empathetic-kinesthetic vitality.

• The people from where I grew up have no appreciation for Paleolithic rocks or menstrual calendars. I'm a retriever of lost iconographies. But I had real training and have deep discipline, and I believe in it. Too much of the work I see today is just cultural junk. It's very superficial and has no rigor. It doesn't address the dynamic and real politics of an aesthetic structure.

• I grew up doing farm work, and there's a deep connection between the demands of farming and the demands of art creation. My sense of space and material has a lot to do with having been a chicken-killer and working with cows.

• It's really hard to have a fair discussion when you're faced with militarism, aggression, and greed. The militarists do not want dialogue. They want what they want. They're psychotic. They're greedy, they're narcissistic, and they're dangerous.

• We don't necessarily need so many artists. I recommend that many of the people who think they want to be artists should go into the American Friends Service Committee, or do government outreach to communities that don't have water, or that need seeds or ecological assistance. It would create a system in which people with engaged sensibilities and potential insight assist instead of imposing. I think it could leap right out of the art world into wonderful community action.
