People have done pornographic pictures forever, but most of the people who involve themselves in explicit sexuality aren't really artists.

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

I don't think any collector knows his true motivation.

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

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.

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

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