I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

I just want to be written about as a normal artist.

People don't have time to wait for somebody to paint their portraits anymore. The money is in photography.

I don't like that particular word 'shocking.' I'm looking for the unexpected. I'm looking for things I've never seen before … I was in a position to take those pictures. I felt an obligation to do them.

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

Just because I was out at the bars all the time didn't mean I wasn't looking for someone to love.

I wish I could be elegant.
