I never think about a photo before I start it. I try to let my mind relax, and then when I get there I do it.

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.

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."

In the end, I believe that the most important influence on my aesthetic has been the photographs I have taken.

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.
