I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends.
I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
My work is received more intelligently in Europe.
I never courted that but it's nice when it's people you respect and they respect your work. It's thrilling.
Some people have become [in U.S] a lot more conservative but I can't really speak about that because I wasn't there. I feel compassion for their pain but it distresses me to see them all become more patriotic.
