My ideas are not developed before I actually do the pieces.

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.

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.

Nothing in the world has a greater power to enslave than fiction. ~ Aarush Kashyap

What is indisputable is the fact that unbelief is the force that gives birth to all of our bad behavior and every moral failure. It is the root.

It's not healthy to live life as a succession of isolated little cool moments.

To know the world, not love her, is thy point; She gives but little, nor that little, long.

Hurray for criticism, if it means that an artist's voice is heard. Let the wise artist invite criticism and survive it when it comes.

Enlightened beings are rare in the universe. They are the joker in the deck. They are outside the circle.

I hope SeaWorld is exploring how, like Ringling, it can get out of the wild animal business.

Darling, you’re perfect.

I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.
