“I always try and stay one step ahead of people, not looking like I looked like last week, so I can be as anonymous as possible and part of it is just for me. It is fun to just come up with new and bizarre colors for each area of your body and things like that, but there are some parts of it that I just keep wanting to negate myself.

“Until the late 1970s there'd either be only black or white in the paintings or if there were colours it would be a small amount, not a large area, and with the color separated from other colors by black or white (which is formula for Damien Hirst's successful dot paintings, incidentally).” IfsWould BeBlackWhiteSuccessfulColorPaintingAmountLateAreasColourFormulasDotsBlack Or WhiteSmall Amounts Author:Matthew Collings

“I am no longer interested in seeing and knowing everything all at once in my work.

“The New Deal never rethought the draconian racist immigration restriction policies of the 20s, of course, but its electoral base rested significantly on "ethnic" voters, whose activism was both hemmed in and rewarded by the Democrats. Southern and Eastern Europeans were included as secondary leaders of the new industrial unions, and as entitled citizens qualified for social security, unemployment compensation, and fair labor standards protections, even as workers of color were largely left out of key areas of the welfare state.” StatesCoursesLeftSocialDealsLeaderSecurityPolicyColorKeysCitizensStandardsAreasFairsLaborUnionsDemocratWorkersProtectionActivismImmigrationWelfareRacistVotersSouthernEntitledUnemploymentEasternSocial SecurityQualifiedCompensationRestrictionLeft OutWelfare StateNew DealDraconian Author:David Roediger
“There still aren't enough[ roles for women of color]. And I'd say that's the case, not only for African-American women, but for all women in the Hollywood game. It's just slim pickings, and a very challenging time for us. I think that's why more of us need to work our way behind the camera in order to create roles that really illuminate who women are.
