"I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
   ~ Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954)


"The biggest thing [Frida] brought into my life was this peacefulness. I still get passionate about things, but my passion is not so scattered and it's not needy. It's a lot more powerful because it comes with this groundedness and peacefulness. That it's about the process, not about the results."
   ~ Salma Hayek, Conversation with Salma Hayek, 2002


"Being artistic is a part of me that I just can't imagine not having. Not like breathing or eating because I'm sure I could live without drawing or painting - I just wouldn't be very happy."
   ~ Adriana Vidal
