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 just hope I can live long enough to see the fame.

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.

Whether it's an orgy or a cocktail party, I know how to do it.

I played around with the flowers and the lighting, so that was a good way to educate myself

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

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