I don't see myself as a visionary at all.

I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.

In Paris, I met a young American person who immediately became the primary inspiration which awakened my vision and the leading influence that had directed my forces. Throughout my career as an artist, I refer to this person by the word 'Woman.'

My advice is never let a publicist call you a 'visionary.' I've hung out with the visionaries at the famed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. I've been a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur. I wouldn't touch 'visionary' with a 10-foot pole.

The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world.

I don't think I was a catalyst for the women's movement.

Being a visionary is a new profession, but it is really just a variant on fortunetelling, which may be the world's oldest. And its marketing appeal is similar - people will pay for reassurance about the unknown.

One cannot deny the great role women have played in the world community. My flight was yet another impetus to continue this female contribution.

If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.
