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

I feel like if I started to use it [camera] that way, it would be like a sin almost. I never show people ugly pictures I take of them. I usually destroy them. So even if I like it, and they don't, it doesn't get shown.

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.

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

I usually work really instinctively and it's afterwards that I think about what it means. I don't know consciously that I have these themes that run through my work.

The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.

I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.
