The way our big cities change sucks. The beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. Artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. Not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. Big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. For me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.

The only parts I like out of any of those women books is the dirty parts. But I don't think their dirty parts are any good, really.

One of my great goals when I first started taking photographs or showing them publicly is that people might want one for over their desk. That's my goal.

I imagined myself as Frida to Diego, both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.

I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.

Writing is not some quiet, closet act.

Since I was a child, I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid, I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants, and that's what I wanted to wear everyday.
