If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer.

In the '70s, I had a very romantic idea about being out in the world and having a network of people working with me. I thought of it more as a military regiment.

Maybe I'll be 48 and die in the gutter in Paris.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.

When I was in high school, to me being a model was the heaviest. It was the logical extension of being an artist's mistress.

I can't say I was a Rasta but I went through a period when I was studying all aspects of Rastafarianism, including smoking a lot of pot while reading the Bible!

When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.

When I went to Paris I stayed at this hotel called the Hotel Of Strangers, in the attic room where Charles Cros and Rimbaud lived together.

In the period where I had to live the life of a citizen - a life where, like everybody else, I did tons of laundry and cleaned toilet bowls, changed hundreds of diapers and nursed children - I learned a lot.

I didn't think I was all of a sudden going to start doing poetry readings, or make a record and have a rock 'n' roll band.

I have 50's Vogues with early pan shots, pale roses and models with necks that went on forever.

I've always thrived on the encouragement of others.

I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.

I went to Glassboro State Teacher's College in New Jersey, which was about all I could afford because I put myself through school.

I met DeKooning once in a bar and he put his hand on my knee right away. I knew I could model for him.

I modeled at the Museum School.

I buy a pair of sunglasses a week.

Somehow I started introducing writing into my drawings, and after a time, the language took over and I started getting very involved with the handwriting and then the look of the handwriting.

An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.
