I've been so lonely trying to become a photographer. If I'd known that before, I don't know if I had the courage to do it again. You get to a point where you feel that you have something that is your own. And if you don't find an audience for it, you are going to burst.

The highest truth is to delete, not to add. To get rid of the things you believe in now. So empty yourself out totally and completely.
