सिर्फ इसलिए कि आप पेंटिंग करते हैं, मूर्ति बनाते हैं या ऐसे बर्तन बनाते हैं जिनका कोई इस्तेमाल नहीं है, आप कलाकार नहीं बन जाते। कलाकार तो अपने माध्यम का एक कवि होता है। और जब कोई कलाकार कोई उम्दा कृति बनाता है, तो उस रचना में एक रहस्य होता है, एक अनकही सी खूबी होती है; उसमें जान होती है।
You are not an artist simply because you paint or sculpt or make pots that cannot be used. An artist is a poet in his or her own medium. And when an artist produces a good piece, that work has mystery, an unsaid quality; it is alive.

मेरी ज़िंदगी में बर्तन बनाने, खाना पकाने और सब्ज़ियाँ उगाने में कोई अंतर नहीं है। ये सब आपस में इतने जुड़े हुए हैं। फिर भी, मुझे मिट्टी पर काम करना बहुत भाता है। यह मुझे बेहद सुकून और खुशी देता है, और मेरी ज़िंदगी के कई सवालों के जवाब भी इसी से मिलते हैं।
In my life I see no difference between making pots, cooking and growing vegetables. They are all so related. However, there is a need for me to work in clay. It is so gratifying and I get so much joy from it, and it gives me many answers in my life.

मैंने कभी खुद को एक सिद्ध कलाकार नहीं माना, और अपनी कला को बेहतरीन बनाने के लिए मुझे हमेशा दूसरों से तीन गुना ज़्यादा मेहनत करनी पड़ी। मैं कभी पूरी तरह संतुष्ट नहीं होती। हमेशा ऐसा लगता है कि कुछ ऐसा है जो बस मेरी पहुँच से थोड़ा ही दूर है।
I never had the sense of myself as an accomplished artist, and I always had to work three times as hard as anyone else to make mypieces as good as they could be. I am never completely satisfied. There always seems to be something just beyond my reach.
