Photography is the most direct communication in non-violent contacts.

My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.

There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting, and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.

I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else

It is impossible to have progress without conscience

I am sick of talking about What and Why I am doing. I have always believed that the WORK is the word. Action is seen less clearly through reason. There are no shortcuts to directness.

Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.
