“I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about...” — Susan Glaspell Quote

I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about is the Mississippi River, where I used to row and skate, ride on the ferry in childhood, watch the logs or just dream.

Defeat furnishes good material to the poets and the artists, but none of us care to have the glory of the conquered apply to us.

Women are used to worrying over trifles.

We're all made of the same kind of stuff, and there's none of us made of stuff that's flawless.

As I grow older, I think friendship between women is a thing to cherish.

There's slowly been a kind of shift in how we think about childhood. It's like childhood almost extends to 20 or 22 even after the end of college. When I was growing up, there was this expectation that you were on your own now.

It's very surreal. It seems like everywhere I go, people always talk about 'Indiana Jones,' and I realized over the years it has made a huge impact on their childhoods... I feel very fortunate to be a part of this.

I have worked hard since my childhood and worked as a labourer. I put my mind and heart into it.

And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
