Art is really whispering, not shouting.

One of the marvelous things about film is that if you expose it long enough you're going to get a picture.

Taking photographs and writing is my way of saying I was here, I saw this, I felt this, I heard this.

Most portraits are lies. People are rarely what they appear to be, especially in front of a camera. You might know me your entire lifetime and never reveal yourself to me. To interpret wrinkles as character is insult not insight.

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.

My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.

I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
