जब लोग कहते हैं कि मिट्टी के बर्तन बनाना सुकून देने वाला और मनमोहक होता है, तो मुझे लगता है कि असल बात चाक (पोटर्स व्हील) की होती है। मैंने जो भी काम किया है, उसमें मुझे कभी ऐसा सुकून नहीं मिला; मुझे तो ऐसा लगता है कि मैं हर पल उस सामग्री से जूझ रही हूँ। वह मिट्टी न तो बेजान रहना चाहती है, न ही टेढ़ी-मेढ़ी होना चाहती है। न ही वह यह चाहती है कि उसमें अलग-अलग तरह की मिट्टी मिलाई जाए। वह इनमें से कोई भी काम नहीं करना चाहती जो मैं उससे जबरदस्ती करवाती हूँ

When people say ceramics is therapeutic and seductive, I think it's really about the wheel. Nothing I've done has that feeling; I feel like I'm fighting with the material the whole time.

मैं हमेशा से एक कलाकार बनना चाहती थी, बस मुझे यह नहीं पता था कि कलाकार बना कैसे जाता है या इसके लिए क्या करना होता है। मैंने कला के एक हाई स्कूल में पढ़ाई की लेकिन उन्होंने कभी मुझे किसी आर्ट गैलरी तक में नहीं ले गए

I always wanted to be an artist, I just didn't know that you could be, or how you could be. I went to an art high school but they never even took me to a gallery.
