An artist cannot do anything slovenly.

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.

The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

I cannot exist as a solo artist.

Every artist seems to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists, because we have voices and we are each of us unique.
