The camera gives you some control.

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.

The thing about being a photographer that's so cool is that you get to participate, but you also get to disappear. The camera is in front of your face all the time.

Just being friends with people now for over 15 years, you realize what we all came out of. What we came out of was the intense feeling of growing up. It sounds kind of cliché, but it's true.

I'm interested in reaching the masses with my work. It's one of my goals.

I couldn't wait to come to New York to reinvent myself.

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