• Searching for funds to continue my skating career when I was 17, I called the Women's Sports Foundation in New York. The intern who answered the phone suggested that I might be a great candidate for the Travel and Training fund, and she sent me an application form. I applied for a grant. With the funds I was awarded, I bought a new pair of skates and a plane ticket to the 1988 National Championships, where I achieved my highest national finish. Four years later, I won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games.

• Before music videos first came out, you’d listen to a song with headphones on, sitting in a beanbag chair with your eyes closed, and you’d come up with your own visions, these things that came from within. Then all of a sudden, sometimes even the very first time you heard a song, it was with these visual images attached, and it robbed you of any form of self-expression.

• In assembling this group of portraits of women, I'm aware that I'm treading on dangerous ground. When I was in college, I learned to be distrustful of men's depictions of women. I remember seeing Garry Winogrand's book Women Are Beautiful in the school library and being shocked that it hadn't been defaced for its blatant objectification of women. But looking back, maybe I was too harsh. Whether one photographs men or women, it is always a form of objectification. Whatever you say about Winogrand, his depiction was honest.

• El tiempo es nuestra moneda más preciada. Por eso es significativo que se nos anime, siempre que sea posible, a pensar en nuestra atención no como gasto, sino como consumo.

• Porque el hombre tiene en sus manos mortales el poder de abolir todas las formas de pobreza humana y todas las formas de vida humana. Y, sin embargo, las mismas convicciones revolucionarias por las que lucharon nuestros antepasados siguen estando en tela de juicio en todo el mundo: la convicción de que los derechos del hombre no proceden de la generosidad del Estado, sino de la mano de Dios.

• Elegir vivir en espacios estrechos conduce a una forma de agorafobia mental y eso conlleva sus propios terrores. Creo que los que voluntariamente carecen de imaginación ven más monstruos, suelen tener más miedo. Es más, los que eligen no empatizar permiten que haya verdaderos monstruos. Porque sin cometer nunca un acto de maldad absoluta, colaboramos con nuestra propia apatía.
