I never prepare a speech. I never think when I give a speech, except for "don't embarrass yourself or others," meaning "remember the names of the people you have to thank."

When you go searching, you never know what you will find.

Life on the planet and in our galaxy is so complex, I don't hope to have any substantial effect in it, but if I can touch a few people deep in their psyche, by making my personal subjective journey concrete for others, then I am very happy.

The pictures are of a psychological culture, a Jungian culture, if you will. It emanates from my own psyche... It's a hard place to get to, honestly. It has taken me many years to get to that place and to define it visually.

[My] goal as an artist is to create increasingly complex images with greater and greater clarity of form and intensity of vision.

Nothing is staged. And nothing is already there. Everything is transformed through the camera.

If an artist is one who spends his life trying to define his being, I guess I would have to call myself an artist.
