If you are afraid, you have to find a way to get rid of the fear. You can do it if you want to do it. That explains why my work is compulsive, the work is indispensable to me and if I did not work I would die. I would lie down and die. The work is the raison d'être. (Louise Bourgeois)
The conversation between Louise Bourgeois and Robert Storr was held in 1997. It has not yet been published.
