“I consider myself an artist, but instead of paint or clay, my medium is drag. I put so much of myself into my drag from every detail of the costume, makeup and hair to my performance, the way I speak or even stand.” WayArtistSpeakHairPerformancesPaintDetailsMediumsMakeupDragCostumesClay Author:Manila Luzon
“I knew I was Chinese, but growing up, it never occurred to me that that had any particular implication or that it should differentiate me in any way.

“It was so ridiculous. We were just sitting there, thinking about how ridiculous it was because we literally had stray hairs on us. The camera couldn't pick up all the details, but we had some crazy things. We had huge slabs of fat on us and bits of nails and hair. It was disgusting. But, there's also the beautiful parts of it.” ThinkingBeautifulBitsCrazyHugeHairPicksSittingCamerasDetailsRidiculousFatsDisgustingNailsCrazy ThingsSlabs Author:Steven Yeun

“Boys are just boys after all, but sometimes girls really seem to be the turn of a pale wrist, or the sudden jut of a hip, or a clutch of very dark hair falling across a freckled forehead. I'm not saying that's what they really are.

“What I need is perspective. The illusion of depth, created by a frame, the arrangement of shapes on a flat surface. Perspective is necessary. Otherwise there are only two dimensions. Otherwise you live with your face squashed up against a wall, everything a huge foreground, of details, close-ups, hairs, the weave of the bedsheet, the molecules of the face. Your own skin like a map, a diagram of futility, criscrossed with tiny roads that lead nowhere. Otherwise you live in the moment. Which is not where I want to be.” WantNeedsTwoMomentsFacesHugeHairPerspectiveWallShapesPerceptionIllusionSkinsDepthDetailsSurfaceTinyDimensionsMapsFlatsYour FaceArrangementsLive In The MomentMoleculesFutilityDiagramsForeground Author:Margaret Atwood
“Everything is a self-portrait. A diary. Your whole drug history’s in a strand of your hair. Your fingernails. The forensic details. The lining of your stomach is a document. The calluses on your hand tell all your secrets. Your teeth give you away. Your accent. The wrinkles around your mouth and eyes. Everything you do shows your hand.” GivingSelfWholeShowsHandsEyeSecretHairDrugMouthsDetailsTeethStomachAccentsDocumentsPortraitsDiariesWrinklesStrandsFingernailsSelf PortraitForensicsSelf Portrait PhotographyCalluses Book:Diary: A Novel Source: Diary: A Novel
