Imagine it's 1981. you're an artist, in love with art, smitten with art history. you're also a woman, with almost no mentors to look to; art history just isn't that into you. any woman approaching art history in the early eighties was attempting to enter an almost foreign country, a restricted and exclusionary domain that spoke a private language.

I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.

Creativity builds upon the public domain. the battle that we're fighting now is about whether the public domain will continue to be fed by creative works after their copyright expires. that has been our tradition but that tradition has been perverted in the last generation. we're trying to use the constitution to reestablish what has always been taken for granted--that the public domain would grow each year with new creative work.

For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can’t quite speak the language, and you don’t know where you’re going, and you’re pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you’re left puzzling over who you are and whom you’ve fallen in love with.

In those years, when i came to the states, people were always asking me why i didn't sing anymore. i'd tell them, 'i sing all around the world-asia, africa, europe-but if you don't sing in the us, then you haven't really made it.' that's why i'll always be grateful to paul simon. he allowed me to bring my music back to my friends in this country.
