Nathaniel Mary Quinn
Q: How did you survive?
Quinn describes finding temporary shelter in a building foyer, getting help from a friend and his friend's mother, and then relying on boarding school for housing, food and safety. Maintaining his scholarship through academic achievement became central to his survival.
Nathaniel Mary Quinn
Q: How do you translate these visions into works of art?
Quinn says he uses ideas from modern art, including Cubism, Surrealism, abstract expressionism and collage, to bring mental images onto canvas or paper.
Blindboy
Q: What is the solemnity, and what would you change about it?

Blindboy
Q: Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?
Blindboy explains that his outfit is made for private comfort and sensory needs, not to communicate social identity. He describes preferring cotton, buying familiar clothes in multiples, and carrying a spoon to discharge static from a shirt.
Grace Coddington
Q: Do you mind being cast as cold? And do you think of yourself as a warm person?
Coddington says she considers herself warm but understands that people may find her intimidating. She sometimes uses a cold expression to avoid unwanted conversations.
