In '83 I started travelling round Europe with my slide show. It wasn't until I moved to Europe and got accepted in a big way in Berlin in the '90s that I got acceptance by the big art world in New York. I didn't really get to be known, or in the market, til '93 in New York.

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

Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.

I had my first museum showing of my slide show in Rotterdam, in 1983. I love Rotterdam. I love harbour cities in general.

American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.

I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".
