I never thought I was breaking a glass ceiling. I just had to do what I had to do, and it never occurred to me not to.

The best-case scenario is that the glass shatters in my face! How do you think that makes me feel?

I like the fact that glass ceilings are breaking all over.

I believe women still face a glass ceiling that must be shattered.

I imagined there would be a way to crack the diffraction barrier. But of course I didn't know exactly how it would work, but I had a gut feeling that there must be something, and so I tried to think about it, to be creative.

He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.

Don't try to squeeze into a glass slipper. Instead, shatter the glass ceiling.

It's hard to shape glass. It took me years of practice, and as a result, I've never gotten bored with it. It's difficult. Every time I come into the studio, I've got some sort of new challenge. And something that I would like to learn how to do better, and the material never disappoints me.

On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.
