'I used to hate my work being referred to as pornographic, and also I used to hate it being referred to as erotic. I didn’t want to be pigeonholed. But...'I used to hate my work being referred to as pornographic, and also I used to hate it being referred to as erotic. I didn’t want to be pigeonholed. But I did read Audre Lorde's essay about the power of the erotic recently, and actually, I think I’m much more comfortable with the term ‘erotic’ now, and I don’t mind that label. Because she talks about it being a lifeforce of creativity, eroticism is that, and a female lifeforce. You know, it’s what creates us all, there isn’t anything more important.'
