People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

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

With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative; I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.

My idea was that if I took a picture of somebody and years later, or whenever, they would die and if someone wanted to know who this person was, they could take one of these pictures and it would tell who the person was.

I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.

Pictures are an escape. They should be bigger than life. In the same way, celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them - so they are worthy of our worship.

The adornment of the body is a human need. I don't see anything superficial about it unless your life becomes very materialistic.
