When I'm tired, I see industrial pictures. But I'll see one every two months. If I see one every day, I'll become an idiot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been working pretty much 12-16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since May of 2003, and every time I see a photo of myself, I realize that there is never a time when I don't look exhausted.
I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.
I didn't hang any pictures in my office for a year because I thought that I would be jinxing myself and have to take them down the next day.
I find still photographs make me quite self-conscious.
I live my everyday life as a person, and I react to my photos from a certain distance. When I look at a photo, I detach myself and look at it as a product - not as me, Isabella.
If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day.
I work very quickly. I only ever take one picture of one thing. Literally. Never two.
Sometimes I'm kind of cranky coming to see something. I saw the Mona Lisa when it was in L.A., saw it for 13 seconds and had to move on.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image.
Once I make a picture, I never look at it again.
