The moment I accept that there's an artistic, redeeming quality in puns, I have a horrible feeling I'll get hooked.
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
I'm just being myself. To me, that people are interested in Jenni, not necessarily the artist, but the woman... it amazes me still.
The aim of the poet, or other artist, is first to make something; and it's impossible to make something out of words and not communicate.
I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.
The worst thing that being an artist could do to you would be that it would make you slightly unhappy constantly.

PowerPoint may not be of any use for you in a presentation, but it may liberate you in another way, an artistic way. Who knows.
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
I came to New York to be a fine artist - that was my ambition.
I wasn't thinking of competing with any artists as such, I was more thinking of being among them, and sharing thoughts with them; like sharing views, ideas, etc.
Anybody who goes searching can find enough artistic things I've done that nobody can ever say I sold out.
