Physical beauty is such a strange thing.

I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.

The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.

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

That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.

As soon as you forbid something, you make it extraordinarily appealing. You also bring shame in as a phenomenon.
