This woman's work is exceptional. Too bad she's not a man.

You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
