I don't make the mistake of thinking it's a major musical event. I love the Eurovision Song Contest and it will continue long after I'm gone. Just please don't ask me to take it seriously.
The end is never worth the beginning.
The center of life is female - we all come from our mothers. I've always drawn women or female spirits. I feel deeply about this - who gives a damn about some guy on a cross? My mother's creativity was smothered after she married and raised a family, but she was supportive of me - even my father expected me to carry on in her footsteps. I prefer to have no kids but lots of animals.
Let it all be animal, my life and death, hard and clean like that, anything but human. . . a lot I care, me with my red heart in the dark earth and my tattooed feet following the animal ways.
I've had 72 absolutely flaming years. It (the illness) doesn't bother me at all, because, you know, love, when you've lived like I have, you've done it all. I put all my effort into living; any dope can drop dead. I'm in the hospital now, and I guess I'll kick the bucket here. Every beetle does it, every bird, everybody. You come into the world and then you go.
To dwell on the things that depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone.
My head is pounding. Like the worst hangover ever.
The sermon which I write inquisitive of truth is good a year after, but that which is written because a sermon must be writ is musty the next day.
Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.
