I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.

My first understanding of HIV and AIDS was like everybody else from my generation. In the mid-'80s, we heard about this, and it was terrifying, because we knew nothing about how to respond to it appropriately, and we didn't really understand about how the virus is passed. There was a lot of misconception about that.

I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.

I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
