My lifestyle is bizarre, but the only thing you need to know is where the darkroom is.

I don't use recreational drugs, except for cocaine, hallucinogens, and nitrates.

I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess.

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.

I'm not photographing anything naked these days. I haven't been concentrating on bodies recently.

I've never lied. I think I've lived a moral life.

With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing.
