People think because it's photography it's not worth as much, and because it's a woman artist, you're still not getting as much - there's still definitely that happening. I'm still really competitive when it comes to, I guess, the male painters and male artists. I still think that's really unfair. - CINDY SHERMAN

In the United States at present we don't have a "language of dissension." You might say people visit their frustrations on other individuals and that acts as a type of "safety valve" to "have steam let off." People may complain about "all of the violence there is today," but if there weren't these more individual forms of venting, there would more likely be rioters or committees expressing dissatisfaction in a more collective way. Violence has always been around. The seeming randomness of it now actually indicates the lack of political organization representing different interests. "Inalienable rights" become something so inane that they break down into men believing that they have the right to be superior to women (there's someone lower on the ladder than they) so if a woman won't dare them any more they have a right to murder them. It's called the peace in the feud. In this fashion, hostility and envy are vented without threatening the structures of society. - CADY NOLAND

I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle. Listen: our culture is saturated with irony whether we know it or not. I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun. - BARBARA KRUGER

My art is a form of restoration in terms of my feelings to myself and to others. To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if I'm inspired by the results. - LOUISE BOURGEOIS

I'm not interested in how people move, but what moves them. Everything must come from the heart, must be lived. What I try to do is find a language for life. - PINA BAUSCH

The function of the artist in a disturbed society is to give awareness of the universe, to ask the right questions, and to elevate the mind. In theater, blood is ketchup; in performance, everything's real. I am only interested in the ideas that become obsessive and make me feel uneasy. The ideas that I'm afraid of. A powerful performance will transform everyone in the room. - MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ
