I got a lot of attention when I was really young, and people have it in their minds that I'm still 24 years old. So I made the decision that I had photographed everything I was interested in in New York. New York is a town you have to embrace, but you also need to leave. I may revisit it one day, but for me it's a place to live rather than one to make work in.

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

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

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

I'm not going to hide behind anything.

I have a really big family, and pretty much all my work is about my brothers and sisters. I'm the youngest of eight - my mom had seven kids in seven years, and then she had me 11 years later - so I was basically raised by all these teenagers.

What I really believe is that there are no coincidences anymore.
