I don't see myself as exotic.

Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic.

I like things that are civilized.

I like things that are unique and extreme.

I think that it's nice when someone can go and look more exotic and do the girl-next-door thing as well.

I get upset about what is taken as great literature and what is cute and exotic.

I like things that I feel comfortable in.

You live overseas, you see these exotic places and you want to know about them. But, weirdly, it also made me homesick for all these very prosaic places in America.

I like some things other people don't like, and they like stuff I don't like.

I like what's obscure.
