I will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.

There are photographs that I don’t take now, that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.

What pedophiles and people who have sexual desires on children lose sight of to a terrible, terrible degree - a devastating degree - is that their victims are real people who will suffer forever whatever abuses are perpetrated on them.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.

The kids really enjoy what they do. I check with them constantly to make sure that they're really happy to be there.

I'm an artist that's attracted to a specific way of seeing and a way of being.

But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.
