I Can Be Fearlessly Strong At Times

I'd Never Even Thought About Compromise When I Worked In My Studio. The Major Distinction Is In The Priority Of Who I Ultimately Wanted To Please: Myself Or The Audience.

The Work Is What It Is And Hopefully It's Seen As Feminist Work, Or Feminist-advised Work, But I'm Not Going To Go Around Espousing Theoretical Bullshit About Feminist Stuff.

I Don't Analyze What I'm Doing. I've Read Convincing Interpretations Of My Work, And Sometimes I've Noticed Something That I Wasn't Aware Of, But I Think, At This Point, People Read Into My Work Out Of Habit. Or I'm Just Very, Very Smart.

Everyone Thinks These Are Self-portraits But They Aren't Meant To Be. I Just Use Myself As A Model Because I Know I Can Push Myself To Extremes, Make Each Shot As Ugly Or Goofy Or Silly As Possible.

I Can Be Fearlessly Strong At Times To Protect An Inner Frailty.
