Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.

In Paris now, when I walk into stores and the shopgirls literally say to me every time, "We don't have anything in your size".

The camera is as much a part of my everyday life as talking or eating or sex.

I had said that when the first Bush got elected that I would leave the country. And when the second Bush wasn't even elected properly.

If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.

I'm very influenced by a lot of things, but my chief influence is my friends and what I see and what I feel and my own experiences and memory.
