My message for people to not take anything for granted, to respect what they might not understand.

Nowadays, with digital printing, it's so easy to make everything perfect, which is not always a good idea. Sometimes the mistakes are really what make a piece.

I’m trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.

Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren't meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.

The still must tease with the promise of a story the viewer of it itches to be told.

I wanted to create something that people could relate to without having read a book about it beforehand.

If I knew what the picture was going to be like I wouldn’t make it. It was almost like it was made already – the challenge is more about trying to make what you can’t think of.

I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear.

The way I see it, as soon as I make a piece I’ve lost control of it.

The work is what it is and hopefully it's seen as feminist work, or feminist-advised work, but I'm not going to go around espousing theoretical bullshit about feminist stuff.

[My work is] maybe about me maybe not wanting to be me and wanting to be all these other characters. Or at least try them on.

Since I stopped writing, I read more than ever. Other people's words, not my own--my words are gone.

If love is the answer could you rephrase the question?

Power is domination, control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.

The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.

An editor should have a pimp for a brother so he'd have someone to look up to.

Deep rivers run quiet.

I never saw a discontented tree.

Working at a startup to make a lot of money was never a thing, and that's why I decided to just finish up school. That was way more important for me.

Without electricity, there can be no art.

Fantasizing about the future is one of my favorite pastimes.
