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

Physical beauty is such a strange thing.

I'd rather get back to making art than talk about it.

I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.

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

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

If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.
