And we've got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders in terms of raising money - I hate to bring this up - are pushing hot buttons.

I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality the question is money. That's what we're upset about.

In the seventies a group of American artists seized the means not of production but of reproduction. They tore apart visual culture at a time of no money no market and no one paying attention except other artists. Vietnam and Watergate had happened everything in America was being questioned.

I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question 'Well what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

When it is a question of money everybody is of the same religion.

My mom and father are extremely proud. They love it when I don't die. I've done so many movies where I've died that their first question when I book a job is 'So are you going to die in this?'

Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer things that I'm worried about as either a woman a wife a mom an American.

There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.

I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual because that means they also sleep with men and men are so dirty that I'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.
