Pastoral Resources

Pornography is about dominance. Erotica is about mutuality.

There may be a point where I may decide to write an autobiography.

Perfect objectivity is always impossible, no matter who writes a person's biography.

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.

In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

I'm a big believer in therapy. I'm in therapy in real life. I think anytime you can bitch and moan about your own life to someone who really doesn't care that much, and can give you an objective opinion about what you're going through, I think that's valuable.

Discretion is not the better part of biography.

Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.

An hour or two spent in writing from dictation, another hour or two in reading aloud, a little geography and a little history and a little physics made the day pass busily.

Writing is a fine therapy for people who are perpetually scared of nameless threats... for jittery people.

I'm somewhat horrified because I don't think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don't' even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don't know where one place is from another.

I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.

He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not.

There is no psychology; there is only biography and autobiography.

Geography has no bearing on it, nor have the interests of the community in which I work.

About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes and just some funny stuff to lighten the load.

Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.

When I was in the fourth grade, I became intensely interested in geography and I learned it well.

There is an element of autobiography in all fiction in that pain or distress, or pleasure, is based on the author's own. But in my case that is as far as it goes.
