I don't get straight people, but I understand what they look like.

Art is really whispering, not shouting.

To fulfil a fantasy is the quickest way to destroy it.

Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?

I am interested in the nature of things. The nature of something is quite different from the way it looks.

I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph.
