People put barriers up in your path, and one of those barriers is age. They tell you, You're too old. You don't photograph so well anymore. I know I don't photograph so well anymore, so what can I do? I can do something different, where it doesn't matter as much how I look.

Everything is so much vielschmutziger.

If someone were to say seriously, I'm divine, she'd have to be locked up. There are lots of people in mental institutions going around saying I'm God. But because I'm funny about it, they haven't locked me up yet. And I don't give myself airs, either.

Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.
