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

One must ease the public into it - that's an art in itself.

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

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

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You'll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

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

I was a Catholic boy, I went to church every Sunday. A church has a certain magic and mystery for a child. It still shows in how I arrange things. It's always little altars.
