Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

I find myself, after all these years, with a built-in safety-brake that stops me from doing certain things. And one of the reasons why I want to try so called hard pornography - I don't even know whether it's hard enough - is to see whether I will be able to overcome this. Because if there is one thing I hate, it's good taste, to me it's a dirty word.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

Genius and taste don't go together.

Some people`s photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happen to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that`s fine. But that`s not why I do them. I`m a gun for hire.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.
