The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think I am going to do pictures which are anything like Renaissance art.

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.
