Having a routine, knowing what to do, gives me a sense of freedom and keeps me from going crazy. It's calming.

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.

Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.

Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don't apply to you. Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work. Every great idea I've ever had grew out of work itself. Sign onto a process and see where it takes you. You don't have to invent the wheel everyday. Today you will do what you did yesterday, tomorrow you will do what you did today. Eventually, you will get somewhere.

Inspiration is for amateurs. professionals work everyday. Personally the best inspiration is a deadline.

It's always a pleasure to talk about someone else's work.

I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.
