I know how I live my life. I have a little magnet brain that attracts the kind of things that obsess me.

For 'The Hotel' I spent one year to find the hotel, I spent three months going through the text and writing it, I spent three months going through the photographs and I spent one day deciding it would be this size and this frame...it's the last thought in the process.

I went to Istanbul. I spoke to blind people, most of whom had lost their sight suddenly. I asked them to describe the last thing they saw.

Objects always meet your obsession. Once you have an obsession, you step on it at every corner.

I made three works about men in my life. But I had much more than three men. I never wrote about them.

I met a photographer who agreed to give me a few lessons; in exchange, I had to pose naked for him.

I didn't go to the North Pole to do something about my mother. I was invited to the North Pole and I realized it was impossible to go there without thinking about her.
