My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.

I never knew what I was doing until I was done.
