If it doesn’t have ambiguity, don’t bother to take it. I love that, that aspect of photography - the mendacity of photography. It’s got to have some kind of peculiarity in it, or it’s not interesting to me.

My main interest was finding boyfriends. I'd park myself in the bookstore and read with one eye on everyone coming in.

It's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary...it never occurred to me to leave home to make art.

The earth doesn’t care where death occurs. ...It’s the artist, by coming in and writing about it or painting it or taking a photograph of it, that makes the earth powerful and creates death’s memory. Because the land will not remember by itself, but the artist will.

These dog bones are just making art the way art should be made, without any overarching reference. Just for fun, if you can imagine that-art for fun.

I like to make people a little uncomfortable. It encourages them to examine who they are and why they think the way they do.

It is easier for me to take ten good pictures in an airplane bathroom than in the gardens at Versailles.
