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

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

I was growing up in the suburbs; I was one of eight kids. So I did have a community when I was younger, but all of my brothers and sisters were older.

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

Whatever emotions you're going through, you somehow seek out the people that are going through similar emotions or that maybe have something you need.

Everyone I'm photographing, I feel like I'm remaking a family, in a way. My brothers and sisters are my heroes. So many of my models resemble them.

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