There's different kinds of love, and I'd never experienced that kind of totally platonic love. All the love I've experienced has always been a kind of deal, and now, as I get older, I realise that there's this other love out there.
In New York, working at the foundry, I was making these little figures. I desperately would like to make big figures, but I just can't do it; my hands don't do it. We were talking about making bronze plinths, and then we made one, a square one. I wrote on it, then I put a little figure on top, and it just looked really good. It worked.
My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
I'm out of here, I'm better than all of you.
I'd make a good friend, not mother. I'm too selfish. I think a lot of mothers are selfish and they end up having children, but I don't want to put some small tiny person through that.
It pleases me that people can be interactive.
People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
I'd like to think I inspire young people to be creative.
I've been making bronze sculptures for a long time. My sculptures are wholly unsuccessful and uncommercial. No one is even the remotest bit interested in them. So it's almost like my hobby.
I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up.
I never grew up.
It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me.
It's happened time and time again, but the committee has always decided against it-the work was too conservative or didn't fit within the budget; there are millions of different reasons.
It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area.
Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing.
There's so much stuff said about me that's not true, so now if something is hurtful and wrong, I send an e-mail or letter immediately, saying, This is not true.
They look at someone like me, and I just really get up their nose. I really wind them up.
With any story I write, I could actually write it from three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end.
I've got to start using my brain more - I've got to be more ethereal and more enlightened.
Women, at 50, are on a plateau with their careers, but later they ascend.
