Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.

I'm very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up.

When we were kids, growing up in the sixties, the only images we had of ourselves were either still photographs or 8mm movies.... Now we have video, digital cameras, MP3s, and a million other ways to document ourselves. But the still photograph continues to hold a sense of mystery and awe to me.

I do photograph things for people to look at 100 years from now. But we're such a mediated society that things become historical the next day.

There's a lesbian aesthetic, just as there's gay camp, but I don't know if there's such a thing as 'lesbian art.'

I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid.

I always give a print to everybody I photograph, and some of my subjects have told me they have a hard time hanging them up at home.
