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.

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

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.

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.

No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.

When I started photographing my boyfriend of years ago, Brian, I realised I had no right to photograph other people having sex if I wasn't prepared to take them of myself too

That's where I got the idea to paint the walls of the gallery with varied colours [at the Whitechapel show]. I tried to figure out how all these Renaissance paintings manage to work together.
