I still love to look at photographs but I couldn't do it myself anymore.

I was extremely irritated being photographed for a long time, then I gave up caring. Photography is a nauseating cliche, but there is a lot to it. You can tell so much about a person from it. You are exaggerating the consciousness. It's life-thickening, photography.

Believe me, I don't like being photographed. I don't like myself in pictures. Actually, I do sometimes.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed by a moving or still camera.

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails.

I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it's really not that bad.

I don't see myself as a photographer. I still see the photographs and collages as a resource for the painting.

I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all. I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world.

I hate being the subject of photographs.
