Yayoi Kusama

I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only way I can conquer my illness is to keep creating art.

I would like to live forever, but I know I'm not going to.

If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.

My life is a dot. It is just one dot, and it is a part of the universe.

I am just a tiny dot.

I came to New York to be a star.

My purpose in life is to keep creating.

I am an avant-garde artist.

I want to be known as the greatest artist in the world.

I came to America alone, without any money.

I am a fighter.

I want to make a new world.

I am an original.

I don't need a lover. I have art.

The earth is a polka dot.

I am a living legend.

I want to be in every museum in the world.

I am a ghost.

I am a magician.

I am the sun.
