It's in trying to direct the traffic between Artiface [sic] and Candor, without being run over, that I'm confronted with the questions about photography that matter most to me.

How many pictures have you torn up because you hate them? What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable - and they're screaming the next minute. I've never seen a family album of screaming people.

Just advertising departments with legs and high heels.

People — running from unhappiness, hiding in power — are locked within their reputations, ambitions, beliefs.

Real people move, they bear with them the element of time. It is this fourth dimension of people that I try to capture in a photograph.

When you pose for a photograph, it's behind a smile that isn't yours. You are angry and hungry and alive. What I value in you is that intensity. I want to make portraits as intense as people.

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.
