I was voted most artistic in school.

I really don't want to be part of just one group. I'm interested in doing everything - making music videos, shooting campaigns, having -gallery and museum shows, making movies. Everyone wants to put you in a box, and I'm afraid I'm not that kind of person.

I slowly began making a few photos with animals over the years, and I liked how people reacted to them. When I would have the animals on set, I'd notice the way the models would interact with them and there was so much true emotion that you rarely see between two human beings.

I knew my ticket out of the suburbs was art school, so I worked really hard to develop my portfolio and get a scholarship.

I put all of my time into art because I couldn't go back to Jersey and work at Starbucks.

I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

Everyone started to have a camera. That's when I started to travel outside of New York and go into nature.
