Catalogue Note
‘They were criticized as if I was making fun of these people. But I empathize with these characters. Some of the most pitiful little characters in that series, my heart goes out to them. I just adore them. . . . I definitely had people coming to me and say, “I know you did me in here somewhere. I’m not sure in which one, but I’m in here”’ (Cindy Sherman, quoted in 'Cindy Sherman and John Waters: A Conversation,' Cindy Sherman, The Museum of Modern Art, 2012, p. 78).
