I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.

It [military action on Iraq] makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States. It is humiliating.

I take a jazz class and I also take just a regular exercise class with a man who gives me acupressure treatments. It's just stretching and elongating the muscles.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

There's something magical still about it when I get in a darkroom, and you've shot a roll of film and you develop it and you look at your negatives, and there's like imagery there. That always stuns me.
