I'm used to being the background. I'm used to having work that only lasts for a little while. I'm used to being - working in the real world, where real things are.

If you are operating in a certain way and you are thinking in a certain direction, suddenly opportunities arise. And if you are open to it, if you are not locked into your style too much or to what you think works.

I'm my own worst critic. I mean, I know what's wrong with everything that I've done.

The idea of words and photos was something that appealed to me.

I was a filmmaker. I made movies. I made films. And I always took photos and made films, always from the beginning.

I went to Our Lady of Mercy, parochial school and I started Fordham Prep, but that only lasted about a year and then I - to me, it was like going to some kind of concentration camp. I was not very happy. And I only went there because that's where my brother went, really.

If somebody gives me a chance to do something, I am going to use that space, that time, that light, that whatever it is and try and work with it.
