I find it hard to take chances that might mean making bad decisions.

I'm extemely competitive, so when people start counting me out or trying to categorise me, I sorta get hungry.

There's a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.

Being a digital photographer I'm in awe of the older generation of photographers who created all those iconic cinematic style images on film, such as Man Ray's portrait of the photographer Lee Miller.

Just real. I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. And more importantly, I want to have the freedom to bring everyone else along with me.

I don't go for the flash and panache.

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.
