I am primarily concerned with the condition of man.

I'm an outsider.

I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
