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 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.

Beauty and the devil are the same thing.

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

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

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

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