Quotes
- [on lesbians who don’t like The L Word (2004)] I definitely think that they should watch something else. There are so many channels on television. It’s easy, if you don’t like The L Word, go watch CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000) or perhaps, The Sopranos (1999) or… I don’t think it’s on anymore. To each her own. It’s funny… I think sometimes when lesbians have a certain reaction to The L Word, there’s such a need to be represented. It’s just one show. It’s one show. It would be like all doctors in the world being upset because they’re not represented by one show [like] ER (1994).
- Be who you are – Whatever you are.
- I have to do my photography because that’s my work and it makes me so happy.
- I am a photographer. I’m an artist. I’m interested in directing. My photography is what I am mostly concentrated on now and have been for years.
