I'm going to put every aspect of myself out into the world and try to convey it through photography.

I think the driving force when I moved to New York was the fear of going home with my tail between my legs.

A lot of artists need structure.

I put all of my time into art because I couldn't go back to Jersey and work at Starbucks.

A lot of people, even my parents, thought, "Art school, I don't know. We'll support you but the success rate for artists is really slim."

All my work, really, is based on my brothers and sisters. I had so many adventures with them and a big part of the work is to recreate those. It's easy for me to be around a lot of people, because I can retreat. I can watch everything.

I'm interested in reaching the masses with my work. It's one of my goals.
