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

My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.

What's shocking is cruelty and torture, and that's become our entertainment. Kids can play violent video games, but God forbid they look at a naked woman. That's pornography, that's perverse. No!

I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.

I went to art high school and thought I'd be a painter. Unfortunately I didn't finish high school, but that's always been part of my work.

Prostitutes go to heaven. It's their clients that go to hell.

As you are working on ideas, you are in a bubble, working on your images. What's important to me in my work, I like this idea of communicating through a piece of art so works don't have to be exchanged. They're okay and they're helpful but most importantly that the image will convey something in my mind that I was trying to communicate and then you have that connection.
