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.

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.

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

I know the families that I photograph extremely well and have known them for a very long time.

No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.

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

I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.
