Every child should have a chance to feel special.

I can't always reach the image in my mind... almost never, in fact... so that the abstract image I create is not quite there, but it gets to the point where I can leave it.

The thing that interests me about photography, and why it's different from all other media, is that it's the only medium in which there is even the possibility of an accidental masterpiece.

I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.

There's something Zen-like about the way I work - it's like raking gravel in a Zen Buddhist garden.

I think women realise that I love women, and very often women seem to love me.

Any innovation that is evident in my paintings is a direct result of something that happened in the course of making a print.
