“I hate to think of you waiting. I know that you have been waiting for me all your life, always uncertain of how long this patch of waiting would be…stop waiting and be free. Of me-put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element…for me: for me, you have been everything.”

“The compelling thing about making art - or making anything, I suppose - is the moment when the vaporous, insubstantial idea becomes a solid THERE, a thing, a substance in a world of substances. Circe, Nimbue, Artemis, Athena, all the old sorceresses: the must have known the feeling as they transformed mere men into fabulous creatures, stole secrets of the magicians, disposed armies: ah, look, there it is, the new thing. Call it swine, a war, a laurel tree. Call it art. The magic I can make is small magic now, deferred magic. Every day I work, but nothing ever materializes. I feel like Penelope, weaving and unweaving.”
