It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

If you run into a monkey in some idiot context, automatically you've got a very real problem taking place in the photograph.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.

Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
