I'm very influenced by a lot of things, but my chief influence is my friends and what I see and what I feel and my own experiences and memory.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

No place could be less sympathetic to my politics than America.

[John] Cassavetes, "Killing of a Chinese Booker", "Opening Night" are my favourites.

If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.

I have no ambivalence about myself wearing make-up or designer clothes but I have an enormous ambivalence about what the fashion world has done to women.

I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
