I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.

I'm a photographer, period. I love photography, the immediacy of it. I like the craft, the idea of saying 'I'm a photographer.'

I believe Michael [Jackson] in a sense is an American martyr. Martyrs are persecuted and Michael was persecuted. Michael was innocent and martyrs are innocent. If you go on YouTube and watch interviews with Michael, you don't see a crack in the facade. There's this purity and this innocence that continued [throughout his life].

The matriarchal society 1300 years ago in Egypt was a peaceful society; that's where you had no war for thousands of years! When they switched to patriarchal society, when the male energy ruled, we became obsessed with the greed. Now we are in this time of intense greed!

There are going to be people doing the talking and people who get talked about, choose, which one do you want to be?

My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.

I shoot fantasy. If you want reality, ride the bus
