Threads of Rosenquist and Warhol are all through my work. But I'm messier - and wetter. It's the female perspective. I'm not as tidy, and they were both very tidy.

Feminism is the best movement that's happened in the 21st century, and it benefits everyone.

My entire philosophy of teaching is based on the notion that when an artist finds a certain process really effortless, that's probably what he or she should choose to do. So often, students take the opposite tack; they have no use for the skills that come easily to them.

Brenda Starr is how I learned to draw. I copied her. I admired her. She had a career.

People of my generation are used to collecting the heroic boys. And they're used to paying a lot of money for heroic boys. I don't make a third of what a guy would make.
