I believe that the essence of photography is black and white. Color is but a deviance.

Why should there be only one sort of photography? I want to create images with elements of my choosing, narrative or evocative... I give myself a literary frame, I tell a story.

I create situations that do not exist. I seek the truth from fiction.

The photos that interest me most, I can't say why I took them. I think my gift is that I still work with a certain amount of unconsciousness.

To be more creative is to get closer to childhood.

What I aim at is an image with a minimum of information and markers, that has no reference to a given time or place.

When the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.

I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.

When I get married I'm going to make the marriage work. Getting married is forever, no matter what my spouse does.

I just don't think it's true that people can't do something else after they've done something that seems so permanent.
