I feel like an artist often turns the camera on themselves and on their own families to understand who they are.

I'm not interested in telling a story in my photographic work. I'm more interested in freezing certain moments in time.

I've always gone for a kind of perfection.

I always try so hard to find a male doll and shoot a male doll, and it always kind of implodes. Whenever I use men, they're so scary and so dark, and I can never find this sort of lightness or this place between doll and human that I find with female dolls.

I think making features has got to be in the addiction category.

I think the big news there - most post-menopausal women I know are not celibate.

I do remember at my very first opening in 1979 another artist coming up to me, and he was haranguing me, saying, "Did you really intend for these things to be so dumb? You just put it there and took a picture of it." He wouldn't let it go. So that's what made me think about the dumbness aspect more.
