• I did make several trips to the very wonderful [Georgia] O'Keeffe museum. Besides the art (my favorite paintings are from her Pelvis series) my favorite thing about the museum is the architecture. I love how enormously tall the doors are - it is like going into a church. There is also something home-like about the layout of the museum. I wish I could live there!

• Because Ivy [Wilkes] is just starting out as an artist, I wanted to focus on [Georgia] O'Keeffe's experiences when she was just starting out.

• I was only loosely aware of [Georgia] O'Keeffe's work. Primarily, I had seen her famous paintings of skulls with flowers, which are not my favorite. I didn't really become familiar with her work until after I started writing the book, but the more I learned about her the more I admired her.

• Women who stay true to themselves are always more interesting and beautiful to me: women like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe and Anna Magnani - women who have style, chic, allure and elegance. They didn't submit to any standard of beauty - they defined it.

• A historic, in-depth study of what it means to risk one's life to be an artist. It is also a depiction of sexual confusions, ironic outrage and rage, and the shedding of society's armor to create a female knight in pursuit of a vision. Georgia O'Keeffe is the one woman who was there first in the world of art.

• I am tired of the cult of youth. The cultural rejection of old age, the stigmatization of wrinkles, grey hair, of bodies furrowed by the years. I am fascinated by Diana Vreeland, Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, women who have let time embrace them without ever cheating. Society today condemns this, me, I celebrate it.

• Recuerdo una tarde de agosto en Chicago, en 1973, cuando llevé a mi hija, que entonces tenía siete años, a ver lo que Georgia O'Keeffe había hecho con el lugar donde había estado. Aquel día, uno de los inmensos lienzos de O'Keeffe "Sky Above Clouds" flotaba sobre las escaleras traseras del Instituto de Arte de Chicago, dominando lo que parecían varios pisos de luz vacía, y mi hija lo miró una vez, corrió al rellano y siguió mirando. "¿Quién lo ha dibujado?", susurró al cabo de un rato. Se lo dije. "Tengo que hablar con ella", dijo finalmente.
