We feel the pull of nature very strongly, relating - even unknowingly - feeling in ourselves to bulbs being stirred in frozen ground, or to the branches of dead trees. Perhaps this indivisibility from nature is an important thing to recognize as we go about our business in the world.

From Sadie Jones

Art is inspiring. Walking into a gallery, or when the lights go up on a stage; that thrill of getting something that has nothing to do with acquisition.

From Sadie Jones

When I was a child, I wanted to raise horses in Wyoming or be a cabin boy on a pirate ship.

From Sadie Jones

You wouldn't know it, but I'm no good at recognising people; I have face blindness.

From Sadie Jones

I'm never happy with what I've written. You imagine, before you start, there's a cathedral, and the moment it starts on the page, it's a garden shed. And then you just try to make it the best shed you can.

From Sadie Jones

Oh, I always think everyone feels left out.

From Sadie Jones

I remember people saying: 'You look funny, your hair is so black, you have a flat nose,' but I didn't think of it being racism, and I still don't. But there was a sense of difference, of being an outsider.
