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 wish I could be elegant.

When I’m behind a camera I forget I exist.

I stand naked when I draw. God holds my hand and we sing together.

This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it.

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

I recorded that because it happened to me. I wasn't making a point.
