Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don't quite mean they're my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe.

I tend to think of the act of photographing, generally speaking, as an adventure. My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.

You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.

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

One thing I would never photograph is a dog lying in the mud.

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