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.

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

It's no small irony that the government inevitably and invariably ends up promoting precisely that which they would most like to repress.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

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

The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very very collaborative.

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