The photographs that are art have to be separated from the rest - then preserved.

Whenever you make love to someone, there should be three people involved - you, the other person, and the devil.

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 don't think that there's that much difference between a photograph of a fist up someone's ass and a photograph of carnations in a bowl.

I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.

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

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You'll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
