At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.

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.

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've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

I like to work in costumes, makeup, and hair that allow me tremendous freedom.

Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.

Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.
