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'm not going to hide behind anything.

The cool thing for me about moving to New York was that I got to create a new family.

I think a lot about control nowadays, and I really want to let go and just be more in the moment.

I didn't have to be friends with people who were into pop music.

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

Just having the camera, being able to pull back from situations and be an observer, it saved my life... I realised I could find these intimate moments and that people trusted me. That, basically, my camera was magic.
