I didn't have to be friends with people who were into pop music.

I didn't have much of a life in crime as a graffiti writer.

My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn't exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living.

I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

It's weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image.

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.

I think the driving force when I moved to New York was the fear of going home with my tail between my legs.

In a lot of ways I look at these old photos, and I don't know if I would have been able to communicate with these people on this level if I didn't have a camera. I think I would still be so shy.

I just remember how excited I was to have a boyfriend and be in love and to document it.

I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.

I spent all of my money on film. I remember I would do these set-design jobs or transcribe or just anything to get, like, a $100 check and go immediately to Adorama and buy expired film.

None of this was what held Yeva's gaze. Because in the bottom of the valley, straddling the river nestled in the foothills, was a castle.

Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are

I don't carry little purses. I carry big duffels, always.

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.

Smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see that life is still worth while if you just smile

The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.

I think my music is great for film, but I don't have the opportunity, or goesche to go and pitch myself to Hollywood.

Life isn't that simple. Everybody has a dual potential to do good and bad and you're capable of doing both. But as to whether someone is beyond redemption, they're dangerous.

Without invention nothing is well-spaced.
