I think all families are creepy in a way.

The world is full of fictional characters looking for their stories

If you scrutinize reality closely enough, if in some way you really, really get to it, it becomes fantastic.

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.

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.

There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.

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