"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."

"I made ‘Born,’ a Genevieve being born of a deer. And I also have no idea where that came from. You can say that it relates to different mythological stories or something. Sometimes I’m making things and people will say, ‘Oh, that’s Diana; oh, that’s Daphne.’ But I don’t know. It just pops into my head."
