When I started doing my work years ago, I had doubts as to whether the informed consent question was answerable.

That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.

There isn't a person alive who doesn't like being caressed.

I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.

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.

They were without clothes before I got there, and they were without clothes when I left.

Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.
