People Think Because It's Photography It's Not Worth As Much, And Because It's A Woman Artist, You're Still Not Getting As Much - There's Still Definitely That Happening. I'm Still Really Competitive When It Comes To, I Guess, The Male Painters And Male Artists. I Still Think That's Really Unfair.

I'd Never Even Thought About Compromise When I Worked In My Studio. The Major Distinction Is In The Priority Of Who I Ultimately Wanted To Please: Myself Or The Audience.
