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

We are in this time of corporations being so greedy and global. Some people want to call it the apocalypse. When I was born it was half the people on the planet. It has doubled in my life time. This is not sustainable for the earth; of course we are going somewhere. So we have to live preciously, we have to live each day with care!

Michael [Jackson] had paintings of himself at Neverland depicting himself as a knight and surrounded by cherubs and angels. People might think he's an egomaniac, but he's not. It's because the world turned against him.

My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.

The tools I learned photographing celebrities, now I want to use them to sell ideas.

You can't change people's minds, we are not God. We can do our best to do what we do, whatever job we have to bring sort of goodness out there. But we can't change people. As an artist what I can do is to communicate!

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