I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Art for me is like breathing.

If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.

I'm a working woman of 80 trying to work out what the image I can project is. How I can do it with, you know, dignity.

I trained as an artist originally, so I know what a nice human body looks like, and I would like to look like that notion, and of course I never will. But I've got past that.

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.

I'm inspired by breath, by the human body - by so many things.

As people, no matter what we are doing, your whole body is living and breathing.
