Art without content is like sex without intimacy: technically sufficient, but emotionally empty.

At a certain point power becomes very frightening, and to really begin to reconstruct civilization means to really act in a powerful way. And power is the thing that women have been taught is a real taboo.

In an interview with Ann Stubbs on New York City's WBAI (1981)

The history of art is that there have been alot of artists who have always been socially engaged and art comes out of both a desire to define the meaning of life and a kind of rage and railing against human limitations.

In an interview with Ann Stubbs on New York City's WBAI (1981)

Because we are denied knowledge of our history, we are deprived of standing upon each other's shoulders and building upon each other's hard earned accomplishments.
