All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.

In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.

I got a lot of flak originally for writing with photographs, because the great cliche in photography is that one photograph is worth a thousand words, and photographers are usually dodo birds anyway.

I often try to photograph things about a person that are not visible.

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

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

We live in a culture where the one who shouts the loudest gets the most attention. It's not in the vulgar, it's not in the shock that one finds art. And it's not the excessively beautiful. It's in between; it's in nuance.
