My ideas are not developed before I actually do the pieces.

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

I'm good at using my face as a canvas… I'll see a photograph of a character and try to copy them on to my face. I think I'm really observant, and thinking how a person is put together, seeing them on the street and noticing subtle things about them that make them who they are.

Believing in one’s own art becomes harder and harder when the public response grows fonder.

I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear.

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

I’m really just using the mirror to summon something I don’t even know until I see it.
