We all die twice - once when we actually die and once when no one on earth recognizes our photograph.

I believe that at the beginning of the life of every artist there is some kind of trauma. We have a problem and all of our life we try to speak about this problem. My trauma was historical. When I was three or four, all the friends of my parents were survivors of the Holocaust; they spoke a lot about that. My father was hiding during the war, it was something totally present when I was a boy. It is sure that it has made me.

I like looking at the finger of God. Why it takes one and not another, why this one or that one, why now or why then. The finger of God is always on us. When you get older and you see your friends dying around you, you say "Why not me?" That machine is always there.

I never take photographs myself. I don’t feel like a photographer, more like a recycler

You are what you are because your parents made love at that exact moment, and if they made love one second after you would be different.

The science about life is very optimistic. Every second, four people in the world die, and six are born. This is optimistic.

I think that all human activity is stupid. Artistic activity is also stupid, but you can see it more clearly.
