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

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 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.

I’m really just using the mirror to summon something I don’t even know until I see it.

Every problem can be solved, you just have to work hard enough, or sometimes be lucky enough to find the solution.

When I served as US Ambassador to NATO in the 1970s, the center of gravity in Europe was France and Germany.

Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.

Dictators and oppressors should continue to fear me because I will be here for a long time.

Visit the graveyards sometimes and read the headstone epitaphs! There is much to learn from the dark face of the life!
