I don't think that there's that much difference between a photograph of a fist up someone's ass and a photograph of carnations in a bowl.

I'm looking for the unexpected. I'm looking for things I've never seen before.

I just want to be written about as a normal artist.

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.

When I create art, it's like holding hands with God.

My work is about seeing - seeing things like they haven't been seen before.

My theory about creativity is that the more money one has, the more creative one can be.
