Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.

I was so involved in my boy-rhythms that I never came to grips with the fact that I was a girl. I was twelve years old when my mother took me inside and said, "You can't be outside wrestling without a T-shirt on." It was a trauma.

I like photographing dresses in windows. I actually wore a lot of dresses in the '70s. I like them on other people now.

Those who have suffered understand suffering and therefore extend their hand.

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

I wasn't thinking so much of music. I wasnt thinking so much of perfection or stardom or any of that stuff.

We used to laugh at our small selves, saying that I was a bad girl trying to be good and that he was a good boy trying to be bad. Through the years these roles would reverse, then reverse again, until we came to accept our dual natures. We contained opposing principles, light and dark.
