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

We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.

In fact, I don’t believe I’m guilty of any crimes, but I’ve always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual, and psychological change, and there’s an erotic aspect to that.

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

The images I like best are parts of series that I've started, in some cases, with the pregnancies of the mothers of the children in question, and I continue that series right on through the birth of children to the child that resulted from that first pregnancy.

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

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.
