A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.

I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.

My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
