If the work is the horse, a career makes a great cart.

What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

You need to have your eyes open because it's really scary what's happening.

I choose to work behind the camera. And I kind of want to make the work and then run away. The presentation of myself really feels complicated for me.

The world feels overwhelming to me on every level. Just the number of organisms that live on this planet. Our politics, our violence, psychology, emotions; there's just a lot going on, right?

I like getting stuff out of the way so you can see something clearly, see it sharply, have it be new again.

I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

I like big casts. The experience of working together, that human contact - those are my roots, professionally.

We do have a Godly heritage in America, but we have been robbed - robbed by the 3 percent.

Slugs crawl and crawl over our cabbages, like the world's slander over a good name. You may kill them, it is true; but there is the slime.

I wrote several screenplays over the years to really polish my craft and learn from my mistakes.

Chunks of his life fell away, so that while we were moving ahead in time, he was moving back.

The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us.

I knew once a very covetous, sordid fellow [perhaps William Lowndes], who used to say, 'Take care of the pence, for the pounds will take care of themselves.

Why can't you just get married in Las Vegas like normal Americans?

My husband and I are loyal to our community and very approachable, even though we're kind of mainstream.

I've always worked at the piano; I like to hear what I'm doing, I like the sound, to hear the actual sound. I get bored just looking at a manuscript.
