I am as mysterious to myself as I am mysterious to others.

What would anyone want to write about me for? I'm just an old lady.

I do miss England. Well, I miss the idea of England, I think. But I haven't been back for years. I probably just miss the past.

I have always thought - and a lot of people won't agree with this - that we're incredibly driven by fear, basically. Aren't we? It's awful to be frightened. I think it's a very strong, very powerful thing, fear.

I never thought of myself as a Surrealist. I didn't think of myself as anything. I try not to. We all have these egos.

I didn't have time to be anybody's muse; I was too busy rebelling against my parents and learning to be an artist.

One is born, one lives, one dies. What death is, I don't know.

Sentimentality is a form of fatigue.

In the political confusion and the torrid heat, I convinced myself that Madrid was the world's stomach and that I had been chosen for the task of restoring this digestive organ to health.
