People will get tired of overly retouched images soon and they'll want something different. If people have too much reality, they want fantasy. What matters most is what the image communicates. I remember the first roll of film I shot at high school, the contact sheet went from these really worthy images of cracks in the wall and ended up with all of my dancer friends naked in Renaissance poses.

I've never wanted to be part of an inner circle of any scene. I've always been an outsider looking to question and subvert.

I think that the world is really in very dark ages. In America this could have never been showed, we are even more lost over there than in Europe. We are very lost!

I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.

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 believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.

I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
