I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.

My introduction to photography and a lot of how I developed aesthetically was through '50s and early-'60s fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

If the postman is saying hello to you, then I feel like, wow, thats something special.

Even as a child, I knew what I didn't want. I didn't want to wear red lipstick.

I never really wanted to be a singer - not with any longevity. But I always wanted to be a writer.

What helps me is watching other people negotiate loss. I think about how we dropped a bomb on people in Hiroshima and 150,000 people were killed in one night. Those people had to mourn and they had to rebuild their city right away.

You're not a rock 'n' roll person four hours a day or even when you're on stage. It's become the rhythm of your whole life.
