I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.

I don't see the point of photographing trees or rocks because they're there and anyone can photograph them if they're prepared to hang around and wait for the light.

You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens.

My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.

I always go for simplicity.

It's only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.
