A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.

I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.

I think all families are creepy in a way.

Photography was a license to go wherever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do.

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.

The condition of photographing is maybe the condition of being on the brink of conversion to anything.

It gets to seem as if way back in the Garden of Eden after the fall, Adam and Eve had begged the Lord to forgive them and He, in his boundless exasperation, had said, "All right, then. Stay. Stay in the Garden. Get civilized. Procreate. Muck it up." And they did.
