When I was being photographed, I always felt very much in my own skin. That's probably one of the reasons why I enjoy being photographed.

When I was photographed, I didn't feel I was acting. I just felt I was being photographed. It sort of taught me things about myself that I didn't know and was trying to find out.

I was fearless. Wild horses couldn't stop me.

You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better.

I do think all art is autobiographical, and I do think I know quite a bit about women. I don't know anything about men.

I don't categorize myself as an 85-year-old woman who has written an erotic novel. I categorize myself as a writer who's written an erotic novel.

Everything in life is elusive.
