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

The key is to photograph your obsessions, whether that’s old people’s hands or skyscrapers. Think of a blank canvas, because that’s what you’ve got, and then think about what you want to see. Not anyone else.

People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

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

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!

My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention. Even though my work is appearing in magazines I am trying to make a large picture. I want my photographs to read like a poster.

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