"I saw an art tip say frustration tolerance is important. Looks like AI reduces frustration tolerance if googling recipes is too uncomfortable."

"It’s nice to have friends that are artists. I trust artists. I trust that voraciousness and hunger. Their hunger for their experience… ...I trust that artists are deep ly engaged in the experience of their work. You can always question people’s motives, but artists are very driven for their own experience. You can spend your whole life thinking about some minute corner of existence: the colors of amber, some detail about paint or clay. Most of the people would not spend that amount of time. It’s not about brilliant insights or thoughts. What matters is that people are diligent. I trust the diligence."

"My body is dry. It no longer preoccupies me as much as when I was 30 or some thing. I’m 72. It’s just like a dry piece of wood, slowly turning to dust. It no longer menstruates. I always say that, when I went through menopause, it made me realize that I had just been poisoned since I was about 12 years old by hormones. It’s such a relief not to be living on a roller coaster of hormones. The fluids of the body are a thing of the past. I moved on. I just started making images of muscles of the front and back of the body."
