The fashion world is 10,000 times more superficial than the art world. Fashion people are so much crazier than art-world people. They are constantly trying to leech from the art world, but they will never be able to do what we do. Marilyn Minter Read Quote

I don’t follow anybody. I just flip through whatever Instagram sends me. I like to keep my algorithm pure, so I only ever like pictures of art. It’s a rabbit hole for me because I’m a total voyeur. Marilyn Minter Read Quote
I really don’t own any jewelry. I paint it, but I’m not a consumer. I buy art – that’s all I want. Marilyn Minter Read Quote

I work in a studio with lots of young people, most of whom are my former students. We delight in trading YouTube videos! We all stop working to watch them. I’m totally addicted to anything with kittens and puppies, but ‘Very Scared Kid’ is one of my favorites. Marilyn Minter Read Quote
