Zitat des Tages von Beatrice Wood:
Sex is energy.
But, you see, the theatre is not always art in America.
You see, I was never stage-struck the way most girls were.
And several galleries - two had asked me and I said no, because I didn't want to leave things on consignment.
Yes, because when you're in love, you are shy.
There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.
But I was very, very unhappy because my mother was very charming and generous, but to me, very dominating.
I'm not too interested in books about India.
And then a great thing in my life was going to India.
And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.
And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.
Here in America we're doing the most wonderful crafts.
Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.
But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through.
I was in a convent for a year.
Well, I don't go out much socially. I don't enjoy going out.
I don't like to sell my finest pieces.
Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.
You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.
And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.
I happen to believe that there is an afterlife.
First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.
My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.
A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic.
