Even when I was a little girl, I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think my parents took me there once or twice. And what I really remember is the design collection.

I remember seeing the movie 'To Sir With Love' when I was a little girl.

I think every little girl is fascinated with mermaids whether you are familiar with 'Splash' or 'Little Mermaid' or things like that. I did remember the film but I didn't watch it going into 'Aquamarine.'

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.

I think of myself as the little girl Renoir painted with the watering can. I loved the garden colors.

I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it's the ideological framing of the debate that scares me.
