Ideas disturb the levelness of life

To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.

Time exists in order that everything doesn’t happen all at once…and space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.

I have to come out of the closet of the third person and speak in a more direct way.

Today everything exists to end in a photograph.

Lying is the most simple form of self-defence.

I'm not interested in giving aid and comfort to the neo­-Conservatives.
