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

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

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

I just remember how excited I was to have a boyfriend and be in love and to document it.

I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

Most of the e-mails I get nowadays are from students who ask me how I got my start. In truth its from having a really supportive family but also having a good patron who will help you - like financing all those early trips I took.

My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn't exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living.
