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

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

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

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.

If I have to change my lifestyle, I don't want to live.

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