There's a lot of psychological material that you inherit from your family.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

I was really poor for most of my adult life.

What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

I choose to work behind the camera. And I kind of want to make the work and then run away. The presentation of myself really feels complicated for me.

If the work is the horse, a career makes a great cart.

I'll finish a body of work and think, "Okay, I got nothing. That was it. I'm done." And then you'll turn a corner and be like, "Oh my God!" And it keeps happening. I feel so lucky.
