thinking work-out dresses
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.
beautiful thinking color
I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.
past thinking government
We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.
thinking hair needs
When I think my hair needs a bit of help, I just glue another bit onto my head.
black-and-white thinking hands
I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much.
fashion thinking too-much
If I think about it too much, I can't get dressed.
children thinking imagination
I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.
thinking who-i-am people
I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, Im kind of astonished because I think, This is completely normal. This is just how I am, its how Ive always been.
thinking mad world
I think the world's just gone completely mad, with everyone wearing the same things, even celebrities.
felt sort
I've always been more slight, and I've always sort of felt that I needed to be protected, especially with so many rowdy brothers and sisters.
died focusing people realized
From 1989 to 2000, I was focusing in on my children. I hadn't realized the world had changed a lot. AIDS had happened, for starters, and so many people in the arts died or were affected.
art life minor played somehow
My life has always somehow been played out in a minor key, unresolved. Art somehow resolves things for me.
outrageous people
There are a lot of people who do a lot of things to be outrageous with fashion, hair or makeup.
Normally, you should be dead if you have a retrospective.
