Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

I like it [Rotterdam] much better than Amsterdam which is too much like a postcard. It's too cute for me. Rotterdam is more real, it's got a stomach.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

The only time I went out was to go to bars at night and all the pictures were taken with a flash because there was no light at all. However now I'm very interested in light.

I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.

If I say something honestly, generally, I am being completely honest and don't tell me I am lying. It drives me crazy to be told I set up my pictures. How does it benefit me to lie? I guess they are afraid to believe it and are afraid to look at it.

Usually people just do their own work. But I want to deal with the place and what it means to show in a mental hospital.
