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.

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

What I'm trying to describe is that it's impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else's.... That somebody else's tragedy is not the same as your own.

If I didn't have a camera, the things I do would be crazy.

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.

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