I think it's good for people to see the positive beauty that can flower from the deepest grieving.

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.

I was quite an insomniac. I rarely slept as a child. Having God to talk to at night was nice.

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

I don't wanna be equal with anybody. I wanna be above equal. I don't think most people are equal to me. I'd like to communicate with everybody; I'd like to do something universal, I'd like to have the hit record of the world. But that's not the same as being equal.

By the time I was 10 or 11, I was completely demoralized. I thought, "I'm done. I'm never going to be a missionary," because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a Chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.

These are the times, the times of our own, these are the shapes the world we formed.
