I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

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

I didn't have much of a life in crime as a graffiti writer.

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.

Whatever emotions you're going through, you somehow seek out the people that are going through similar emotions or that maybe have something you need.

There was no luxury. I never got on an airplane until I was 18. We drove everywhere. My dad was like, "Waste not, want not."
