“Over and over I’m on the point of giving it up.”

I was in a convent for a year.

And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

There’s so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

The second time I was there I met Marcel Duchamp, and we immediately fell for each other. Which doesn’t mean a thing because I think anybody who met Marcel fell for him.

Hardships and handicaps can…stimulate our energy to survive them. You’ll find if you study the lives of people who’ve accomplished things, it’s often been done with the help of great willpower in overcoming this and that.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

Celibacy is exhausting.

Choosing to live in the timeless, I am now at the easiest and happiest time of my life.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife

But you can’t realize, you can’t know what another person goes through.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

Yes, because when you’re in love, you are shy.

I don’t like to sell my finest pieces.

Language fits over experience like a straight-jacket.

Hey now, none of that. You know i don’t have one evil bone in my body. Only two hundred and six of them?

I think love is something that you have to work on, and it develops over experience and time. Love is a practice.

It’s no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.

There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don’t say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.

I love food, and I’m a chronic over-orderer at restaurants.

I hope we don’t have to keep going back over the same territory and winning the same rights over and over again. The battle for birth control. The battle for abortion.

I’m sick of doing bad things and liking it and then wondering what’s wrong with me. I want it to be over. I want to start again.
