Success doesn't happen overnight.

Putting your work out there is scary!

Oh my God. Brian De Palma. I love him.

I've always been fascinated by the desert.

For me, art doesn't stop at the gallery space.

It's just so humanizing to see someone be real.

To me, the point of feminism is to be inclusive.

I really don't believe in the word 'selling out.'

I'm definitely a Sagittarius. I'm such a fire sign.

Occasionally, I'll wear glitter or blue eye shadow.

I'm either working or I'm lying in bed the entire day.

I want to direct a feature film. Horror is my main genre.

You don't have to wait for anyone's approval to do things.

Art was - and is - my biggest outlet. I'd probably die if I didn't do it.

I love working in groups - I think it makes each individual more powerful.

If I have extra money, I always love to support my friends who're making art.

It's very insulting when you're in charge and someone is talking down to you.

Being taken seriously as a young woman is the biggest hurdle as I grow older.

My lens and my personality, it's just fluid. The art isn't just in one place.

It's so important for women to create images of women - or any group, at that.

A good jean that fits someone's butt right is just amazing. It's just classic.

For me, being in a car listening to music has always been my one spot to think.

Hashtag activism is a catalyst, but things have to actually happen in real life.

When a woman is anything but pleasant, she is labeled as whiny, hysterical, etc.

Women are inherently told their bodies are objects, so that's how we treat them.

I look for subjects who have stories to tell - who are looking to tell something.

When I do an editorial or when I do a campaign, I bring that lens to every space.

Just like any other girl, I felt pressure to look a certain way. Act a certain way.

I get why feminism can be intimidating; sometimes it can seem like this exclusive club.

If a guy can't handle your natural hair, he's weak. Why waste time on someone like that?

If a guy can't handle your crazy pictures, he's probably not someone you want in your life.

I wish I didn't think about what my body looks like. It can be done - it's just a long process.

I want people to see themselves in a person. I never want someone to aspire to be someone else.

How girls perceive themselves is interesting, and how they act when they're looking in the mirror.

Just being with a group of girls and experiencing sadness together - it's a pretty powerful thing.

I was depressed at a very young age - mental illness runs in my family, especially on the female side.

I remember being 12 or 13 and reading 'Seventeen' and 'CosmoGirl.' They were all about self-improvement.

That's what I look for in models: Someone who can tell a story and has a presence in front of the camera.

People look the best when they feel the most comfortable, so I buy 10 of the same thing if I really like it.

Feminism is a lens I see the world through and what I believe in. I don't ever use it as a tool of promotion.

My style motto is pretty classic: you give off a positive energy when you wear what you're most comfortable in.

I'm so pro-selfie because I think it's a tool that allows girls to create images of their own and of themselves.

I used to hate my hair. Now I love it. I spend hours brushing my hair out after it dries. I love it when it's big.

Because I loved dance, I always need to be physical and moving, so photography that is more tactile made more sense.

We [photographers] have the tools and the power to create images - we should try to make them as truthful as possible.

It's hard for every girl to accept their body. This is something that I try to work on every day to set a good example.

I just think it's crazy that we don't think that the youth are valid. They're the ones who really know what's going on.

My favorite place to go is Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. If you see it at sunrise and sunset, it's like you're on Mars.

I grew up on Facebook; it's a different realm I live in. For some people, this is inauthentic, but for me, it's all I know.

I think a way that feminist photographers work is turning what was the object into the subject and really making it our own.
