It's not that I have compromised or anything, but it's always been important to me to take good care of myself and be a good example. I'm not much a role model in terms of hair care, though.

When I'm on my own with my camera, taking these pictures, it feels as if I am in a room of my own, a self-contained world.

I hated the makeup. I hated all that pancake makeup. I didn't really like dressing for parts.

I remember when you were born, it was dawn and the storm settled near my belly. And I rolled in the grass and spit out the gas, and I lit a match and the void went flash. And the sky split and the planets hit, balls of jade dropped and existence stopped.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

I worked for Hillary [Clinton] when I was young - when she was running for the Senate. I was fundraising and things, I see all of these people as political in a way that isn't humanistic. I'm just watching and hoping that someone is going to distinguish himself or herself as comprehending what we need.

People need space to air out their thoughts, to have a sense of themselves - unfettered by anything.
