I'm very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I've barely heard of them.

The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.

Nothing is ever the same as they said it was. It's what I've never seen before that I recognize.

I mean, if you've ever spoken to someone with two heads, you know they know something you don't.

I think all families are creepy in a way.

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.

Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It's just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.
