A lot of photography is making records of people, as objects, friends. It's like organizing a wardrobe - in terms of size etc.

Then at one point I did not need to translate the notes; they went directly to my hands

You cannot see me from where I look at myself

I feel like I am floating in plasma I need a teacher or a lover I need someone to risk being involved with me. I am so vain and I am so masochistic. How can they coexist?

Things looked funny because my pictures depend on an emotional state... I know this is true and I thought about this for a long time. Somehow it made me feel very, very good.

I wish i could change my mind as easily as I change socks But then I don't change socks so easily

THIS ACTION THAT I FORESEE has nothing to do with melodrama It is that life as lived by me now is a series of exceptions I was (am?) not unique but special. This is why I was an artist

Real things don't frighten me just the ones in my mind do.

Am I in the picture? Am I getting in or out of it? I could be a ghost, an animal or a dead body, not just this girl standing on the corner?

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.

Faith is the recognition that Spirit works in, as and through each and all of us - through every person and every circumstance.

I think that I was lucky to have that period of time [ like coming to New York] because everything was so exciting and new.

People tell you to have a safe trip, as if you have some control over it.

I started off like everyone else does, slogging but having a compulsion to put words on paper. I didn't write or read horror or fantasy, other than children's fantasy, until I was in my teens

I would define myself as being naive and perverse at the same time. And I think that if that is consistent it will make the tone consistent.

No matter how you decide to spend a little more time on your gestures of giving, the point is just quite simply that you do.
