After writing all day I go for a walk and see a piece of architecture i want to photograph and i have to take a picture and later a poem comes in my mind.

I think guys are more emotional. Men are supposed to be the strong ones, they have pressure on them to be strong, but when it comes to sex men are much more emotional than women.

I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.

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

Hung-up women can't produce anything but mediocre art, and there ain't no room for mediocre art.

The film [Dream of Life], in the end, is life-affirming, and I think it's always useful for people to be reminded that no matter how rough things get, no matter what kind of twists and turns our lives can take, we can keep going, we can create something new.

I like my time on earth. And no matter what kind of cards I've been dealt, I'm happy to be there.
