When I photograph someone, I want to shoot the subject and get them out of my studio so I can play with the photos and do all the stuff I want.

Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met heroin it was true love.

There is something about spending Christmas alone, naked, sitting by the Christmas tree gripping a shotgun, that lets you know your life is spinning dangerously outta control.

I've got so many mountains to climb and goals to conquer. I've got so many scars I want to leave on the planet. I just feel like I'm not there yet. I feel like I am just getting started.

I look back at things I said when I was younger - it was bulls - t. You do what you have to do to go where you have to go, but I look back and I don't believe what that guy was saying.

I used to think the only way to be truly alive is to confront your mortality.

Raw and honest is what I go for [in my style of shooting]. I am looking for your inner beauty. The outside tells a story... But together is raw honesty.
