I'm not ashamed of my body and you know everything in the fashion world, if I was vulnerable to it, could drive me crazy. I think it produces so much self-hatred.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

In the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days.

All names of God remain hallowed because they have been used not only to speak of God but also to speak to him.

I have a bigger mission than any kind of specific politics, which is trying to restore the accessibility of rock 'n' roll.

I said, God, the press and people, they just really hate me and I'm really trying. Geraldine Page said, Listen to this, Tab. If people don't like you, that's their bad taste.
