My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope.' Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor.
But I really want to be an artist, so therefore I have to live a little bit like a monk.
Father, in spite of all this spending of money in learning Latin, I will be a painter.
Artists are the monks of the bourgeois state.
I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.
I was raised to be a girl Michelangelo.
The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was.
I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.
Anybody can be Pope; the proof of this is that I have become one.
