"I think self-portraits are very difficult. Iâ€™ve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. Iâ€™d want it to be very graphic â€“ about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but Iâ€™m scared to do it by myself. Iâ€™ve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. Iâ€™m so strongly linked to how I see through the camera that to get to the other side of it would be difficult. It would be as if I were taking a photograph in the dark."

“I try to do something physical every day. I don't go heavy every day, though.”
“In its essence the Gospel is a call to make the experiment of comradeship, the experiment of fellowship, the experiment of trusting the heart of things, throwing self-care to the winds, in the sure and certain faith that you will not be deserted, forsaken nor betrayed, and that your ultimate interests are perfectly secure in the hands of the Great Companion. This insight is the center, the kernel, the growing point of the Christian religion, which, when we have it, all else is secure, and when we have it not, all else is precarious.”
