"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"Untitled Film Still (#7)" (1978)

"It’s not like some wish-fulfillment or wishful playacting, like “Oh I’ve always wanted to be a young starlet, so I’ll make myself into one by posing in this picture.” It’s not that, because I think the characters are too troubled for me to really be happy doing that."
