People Quotes

I think what really separates artists from the rest of the world is that artists feel like they have permission to keep exploring and expressing their process.

I think people sometimes have a hard time placing me because I don't fit into a box. When they ask what I do at a cocktail party, I either say I'm a Renaissance woman or I'm a high-level madam. Lately I've been more comfortable saying I'm an artist, because that can cover a lot of different things.

I never had a father, really. My great-grandmother raised me. But I was in this country where I got help from people that were not of my same color.

But what people don't share is stories.
