My mother loved rock and roll. She loved high-energy music.

Everything distracted me, but most of all myself.

I don't feel that censorship keeps me from doing the work, though. I'm my bigger censor.

I don't know about that. I'm not a very analytical person. I have various impulses. I've often quoted Walt Whitman's phrase "I contain multitudes." I understand that.

What a model of an artist was for me was an artist who worked. Picasso was the ultimate model, because the work ethic he had.

Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.

Toyland, toyland . . . once you pass its portals you may never return again.
