“Only be an artist if you have no choice!” — Marilyn Minter Quote

Only be an artist if you have no choice!

In the late '80s, I think my vision was chasing people out of the room. Nobody else thought like this. I was really this pro-sex feminist.

I still don't feel like I've made it. I can't imagine ever feeling like I've made it.

Art about art and backstory has taken over visual pleasure.

I really don't own any jewelry. I paint it, but I'm not a consumer. I buy art - that's all I want.

We have no choice but to reform this country.

I've gone skydiving twice. I was terrified about doing it, but I wanted to overcome that. The first time, I did it with my parents and I remember that they had already both jumped out, and suddenly it was my turn. And I thought, 'Well, I don't want to be an orphan,' so I guess I have no choice, and I jumped out of the plane.

Everyone makes fun of my calves. They are so big. I don't really even like them, I don't really want them as big as they are, but I have no choice.

When I was growing up everybody I knew could sing. I had no choice. I had to sing.
