I'm not condemning the Catholic Church - it's too big, it's like condemning a nation and that would be prejudiced.

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

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

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

Success to me is being a good person, treating people well.
