I thought my father was biggest, tallest, smartest, handsomest man in the world, so if he was telling me something, I was taking it really seriously.

I always say I'm an artist with the soul of a realtor.

I was always very proud of myself that I could wrest emotion from a doll or a puppet. It never occurred to me that I could find real emotion in a person.

I never could have predicted that I would have done something that could be called portraiture.

My father was a dentist. And my mother was a - do we still say 'housewife'? A home engineer.

My subject has always been women. And I don't want to sound, like, preposterously idealistic, but I would like, in my lifetime, to experience a world where women, all kind of women, can connect and support each other.

Parenthetically, I have to say, I don't particularly like dolls, nor have I ever liked them.

Your ringtone is so personal to you, but the fact is millions of other people have your ringtone. I really love that connection, and call me crazy, but I find the iPhone ringtones super melodic and very danceable.

I think that I came of age in the 1970s with my own work, and it was a time of conceptual and process art, and it was very important not to tell a story. If you told a story, when I was a young artist and first came to N.Y., it was, like, an embarrassing way to make art.

It's funny: when you're an artist, your own work goes in and out of fashion with you.
