I'm very much interested in water and women in water. I've been photographing that for years although I didn't really know it at the time.

I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.

My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.

When I put my big retrospective together in '96 [for the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York], I saw that there were all these pictures of people inside looking out. All these pictures of women in water and mirrors. I don't know what it means.

One of the major things I really want to work on now is female rage because that's not dealt with at all - and I have a lot of it.

I never courted that but it's nice when it's people you respect and they respect your work. It's thrilling.

I had said that when the first Bush got elected that I would leave the country. And when the second Bush wasn't even elected properly.
