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

Oh god, success is so exhausting.

I've always gone for a kind of perfection.

I feel like I've finally got to this place that I really want to be. The place where, in my fantasy, the characters just get up and walk around - this interstitial place between humans and dolls. But I also feel like, where am I supposed to go from here? Because this feels like the place I've always wanted to be, for my whole life of shooting.

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

When I first came to New York, in the '70s, artists were certainly divided about the Andy Warhol persona, and about the work. I thought it was utterly cool - I thought the Factory was utterly glamorous - but there were a lot of artists I really admired and respected who were older that kind of dismissed it, couldn't get it, and felt that there was a lack of seriousness about it.

My father was a dentist. And my mother was a - do we still say "housewife"? A home engineer.
