I feel about politics the same way I do about religion: I find the best I can from different things.

The only way I can lose my mind in bed is to destroy myself in a fantasy.

I never thought of being a performer, never thought of being a singer, never thought of being a photographer. It's just the trajectory of my work. I go to the medium that serves the vision.

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.

Steven's [Sebring] presence was not threatening; he told me that if I never wanted the footage to be seen by anyone, he would give it to me. So I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, and what I gained was his supportive energy and the supportive energy of his wife, who was sometimes the one schlepping the equipment or doing the sound.

So my last image was as the first. A sleeping youth cloaked in light, who opened his eyes with a smile of recognition for someone who had never been a stranger.

No, my work does not reflect my sexual preferences, it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist.
