I am fascinated by the human body and all its evolutions.

There are photographs that I don’t take now, that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.

When I started doing my work years ago, I had doubts as to whether the informed consent question was answerable.

That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.

I'm the last person who has any desire to instruct anybody in shame. That's no errand for me.

I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.

All things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.

I don't write about what I know: I write in order to find out what I know.

The brain cannot multitask...The brain naturally focuses on concepts sequentially, one at a time...This attentional ability is, to put it bluntly, not capable of multitasking.

Rediscovering the wisdom of love and compassion may help us survive at a time when an increasingly balkanized world so badly needs it.

If you want to drink, have a drink... if you want to drive, then drive... there's nothing worse than having a smash sober.

Sometimes I still can't believe my luck.

Last time I failed is when I fell in love with distractions.

One may detest the wickedness of a brother without hating him.

Meanings are translatable. Words are untranslatable… More briefly – a word is translatable, its sound is not.

I grew up in this Southern Baptist atmosphere, and my mother and father were both, I guess you would say, academics. They were both teachers.
