I spent all of my money on film. I remember I would do these set-design jobs or transcribe or just anything to get, like, a $100 check and go immediately to Adorama and buy expired film.

I want to venture into film more, and I think that a nice way to transition into doing that would be a documentary. I think it would be interesting to find one person that really fascinated me or maybe a band and travel with them, but I don't think I could do it like I used to do it.

In a lot of ways I look at these old photos, and I don't know if I would have been able to communicate with these people on this level if I didn't have a camera. I think I would still be so shy.

A camera gives you a purpose.

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

I went through a pretty big David Bowie period when I was younger, and that has affected me profoundly in my life and my work.

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