Women? Well, they are gods. They will always fascinate me. As for rope, I always have it with me. Even when I forget my film, the rope is always in my bag. Since I can't tie their hearts up, I tie their bodies up instead.

In the act of love, as in photography, there is a form of life and a kind of slow death.

I only tie up woman's body because I know I cannot tie up her heart. Only her physical parts can be tied up. Tying up a woman becomes an embrace.

The camera itself, the photograph itself, calls up death.

Only artists without talent try to shock people.

You are either born to be a photographer or not. The art of photography is not something you can learn in the classroom or by watching someone do it.
