I want to be around a really long time. I want to be a thorn in the side of everything as long as possible.

The issue of gender was never my biggest concern; my biggest concern was doing good work. When the feminist movement really got going, I wasn't an active part of it because I was more concerned with my own mental pursuits.

People like beauty and purity. They pretend that's what it's all about.

You don't want to OD on improvisation.

...my camera is my friend, and I take it everywhere.

I would always say to anyone, you make choices that are important to you. Don't allow yourself to be exploited by something as fleeting as fame and fortune. If you're presenting yourself in a way that important to you in communicating your vision, then so be it. No one should allow themselves to be exploited ever.

We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves.
