I think pictures and words have the power to make us rich or poor.

You want it, you buy it, you forget it.

Money talks. It makes art. It determines what food we eat, whether we are cured or die, and what shoes we wear.

... the thing that's happening today vis-á-vis computer imaging, vis-á-vis alteration, is that it no longer needs to be based on the real at all. I don't want to get into jargon - let's just say that photography to me no longer pertains to the rhetoric of realism; it pertains more perhaps to the rhetoric of the unreal rather than the real or of course the hyperreal.

It's hard for me to understand how working-class people support themselves.

Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

I want to speak, show, see, and hear outrageously astute questions and comments. I want to be on the sides of pleasure and laughter and to disrupt the dour certainties of pictures, property, and power.
