I didn't have any interest in traditional art.

I didn't want to make 'high' art, I had no interest in using paint, I wanted to find something that anyone could relate to without knowing about contemporary art. I wasn't thinking in terms of precious prints or archival quality; I didn't want the work to seem like a commodity.

Some people have told me they remember the film that one of my images is derived from, but in fact I had no film in mind at all.

When I do work, I get so much done in such a concentrated time that once I’m through a series, I’m so drained I don’t want to get near the camera.

Being able to make a living doing something one truly loves to do - is my definition of success.

I'd never even thought about compromise when I worked in my studio. The major distinction is in the priority of who I ultimately wanted to please: myself or the audience.

I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead.
