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

All my work, really, is based on my brothers and sisters. I had so many adventures with them and a big part of the work is to recreate those. It's easy for me to be around a lot of people, because I can retreat. I can watch everything.

I was pretty Irish Catholic Jersey, the middle of the line.

A lot of my close friends have committed suicide or died of heroin overdoses.

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.

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."

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