I always think about the idea that God never gives you more than you can handle, and just the idea that God would be looking at me and thinking, 'Eh, I think she can handle more.' And the angels thinking, 'What are you doing? You're a lunatic.' And God being like, 'No, no, trust me. She can handle this.'

I'm not a religious person; I'm not even, like, a spiritual person.

Before I had a double mastectomy, I was already pretty flat-chested, and I made so many jokes over the years about how small my chest was that I started to think that maybe my boobs overheard me... and were just like, 'You know what? We're sick of this. Let's kill her.'

Even losing my mother, I wanted my mother. That's who you want instinctually when you're having a hard time.

I didn't like to stop playing for a second to bother with eating or going to the bathroom. I was a really skinny kid, and I remember my mother always telling people, 'I don't know how she's alive. I think she gets all of her nutrients from air pollution.'

I failed eighth grade twice, and then they moved me up to ninth grade. Then I failed that and dropped out. My teacher would hand me a test, and I'd grade it myself with an F, then put my head down on the desk.

Lucknow's architecture is a part of life in the city.

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.

I hope to live all my life for my art, without abandoning my principles one iota.

Layer by layer art strips life bare.

Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.

I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
