I think that it was a great advantage to go into photography not knowing much about it. Not thinking. I think one of the problems with many photographers today is that they never see for themselves, but just like everybody else.

I just try to live my life and do my thing.

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

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 see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.

When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I'm human. It's the same thing when I'm behind a camera. I forget I exist.

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