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

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

But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.

Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.

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

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

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