Frida Quotations

There's nothing wrong with a thick eyebrow; Frida Kahlo had them.

Having a child doesn't make a woman a mother any more than owning a paintbrush makes her Frida Kahlo.

One of the things that helps me tell a story through music is to create a character. I have to have a muse, whether it's Frida Kahlo, Martha Graham, Marlene Dietrich, or Pippi Longstocking.

I'm attracted to artists like Frida Kahlo, because her work was her life, her questions, her outrage, her suffering, her pain. Everything is in her work.

Frida Kahlo taught me a lot without ever bragging about anything.

Never before had a woman put such agonizing poetry on canvas as Frida did at this time in Detroit.

What do you mean the banks of the river?. Are/ you the banks of Diego Rivera? I will be/ remembered throughout history and already my/ little Frida has forgotten.... Who first put a/ paint brush in your hand? ... And now you/ have become the banks to contain me? No,/ Frida, you have forgotten the real truth. You/ are a stone in the mighty river. A lovely/ speckled stone.
