“My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtle...” — Moon Unit Zappa Quote

My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.

I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.

I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.

I should just drive around this city and take photos of all the buildings I've been humiliated in.

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.

I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.

The specific story line that people have responded to the most has been the horror of bathing suit shopping.

I go to Vegas now, and I'm in the casino, and I'm gambling, and there's a guy in a wet bathing suit gambling right next to me.
