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.

My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.

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

The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.

I used to have this notion when I was a kid that the minute you said anything, it was no longer true. Of course it would have driven me crazy very rapidly if I hadn't dropped it, but there's something similar in what I'm trying to say. That once it's been done, you want to go someplace else. There's just some sense of straining.

It's important to take bad pictures. It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again.

Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
