Bless You For Your Jealousy; It Is

When I Turned 60, It Didn't Bother Me At All.

What Surprises Me Is-even Though Discrimination Against Women And Racial Discrimination Still Exist, They Have Improved A Lot, Especially Among Artists. And Just When I Felt I Could Finally Take A Break, I Encounter The Age Discrimination. I Turned 72 And Started Noticing A Drastic Difference In People's Attitudes. I Started With Racism And Sexism In The Beginning And Fought Them So Hard And Was Finally Ready To Relax. Then, Here Comes Ageism, And I Feel Like, "give Me A Break!"

I Never Thought, "i'm Going To Be An Artist". When I Actually Began To Become Successful In The Art World I Made It A Point To Say, 'i Am A Dilettante, I Am Not A Professional Artist", Which Is True.

People Are Still Thinking Of Solving Problems By Violence And War, And That Has To Stop.

Power Is Not Something We Should Be Afraid Of. Power Is Great, Power Is Energy. And In Terms Of Energy, The Most Important Energy Is Human Spiritual Energy And When I Say Spiritual, I Feel Like Have To Be Very Careful, I Don't Mean Religious, I Mean The Energy Of The Mind, The Energy That Exists Within Us.
