I remember, on the medevac helicopter, I said to myself, "I am not f - - g dying in Afghanistan." People talk about having flashbacks; I began having flash-forwards. I began thinking of all the things I still wanted to do.

I've learned to listen in all aspects of life, in all relationships and communications. The biggest lesson is to listen.

I had been a fashion photographer for over ten years, but I'd always been dissatisfied with what I was doing. It was all about selling people, and I got disheartened by the whole industry.

It is what it is. I can't change what's happened to me.

I'm not a war photographer. I've always dealt with the consequences of conflict.

A lot of great creativity comes from restrictions.

I am a big believer in love. Love for me is what got me through.
