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'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.

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 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.

Everyone started to have a camera. That's when I started to travel outside of New York and go into nature.

I'm just a photographer, not a movie star.

The camera gives you some control.
