I’m trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.

One reason I was interested in photography was to get away from the preciousness of the art object.

The way I see it, as soon as I make a piece I’ve lost control of it.

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

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.

I was supporting myself, but nothing like the guy painters, as I refer to them. I always resented that actually.. we were all getting the same amount of press, but they were going gangbusters with sales.

I can be fearlessly strong at times to protect an inner frailty.
