ArtForum, April, 2004 by Miriam Rosen

CA: You mean, I'm becoming part of the establishment?

MR: No, I don't think you're becoming part of the establishment, but getting that kind of recognition changes your relationship to the world.

CA: Yes, but I don't feel it. Frankly, I don't feel it. I know that I have to work, I have to go on. When I passed Beaubourg the other day, I saw Sophie Calle's name displayed in big letters, and I said to myself, "Hey, will my name be in big letters like that?" And then, well, I thought about something else.
