I can be fearlessly strong at times to protect an inner frailty.

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.

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

Believing in one’s own art becomes harder and harder when the public response grows fonder.

I wonder how it is that I’m fooling so many people, I’m doing one of the most stupid things in the world…and people seem to be falling for it.

I didn't think of what I was doing as political. To me it was a way to make the best out of what I liked to do privately, which was to dress up.
