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

I'm always interested in an atmosphere where dreams and reality mingle on equal terms.

A lot of my close friends have committed suicide or died of heroin overdoses.

The camera gives you some control.

Actually, I didn't study photography at first. I went to school for painting my first year, poetry my second year, graphic design my third and fourth year, and photography my fifth.

I know that my mind is so A.D.D., and I want instant gratification - and photography can provide me with that - but at some point, I want to make an independent feature.

I think that's an important lesson for young people who want to be artists: You have to find someone who believes in you and who will help you find that time where you don't have to think about a job but just making work. If I didn't have those people in my life, I wouldn't be in the position I'm in.
