I find some comfort in running through the worst-case scenario in my mind and seeing how it's all going to go down.

I'm interested in that hybrid - the place between the real world and my imagination. There's a friction that's created between the things we imagine and the things that exist.

I believe photography is about choosing to live, being brave. Looking is an act of courage. It's terrifying. It's possible to see too much, to witness things that we cannot hold.

Photography has saved my life, over and over again.

I believe that I am some sort of fiction writer and I'm using myself in my work because I'm the person I'm most convenient to use!

Tenderness and lust are just immature little brothers of love. Yes of course it was lust... but I'm not sure how evolved or resolved that lust was.

In general, I wait to be approached. I want to be the one who's hunted, I want to be the one who people take interest in.

What I love about photography is that nothing is really as it seems.

I'm always afraid going into strange places, but I also choose carefully and listen to my instincts. These were men I could trust. I'm a pretty good judge of crazy versus sad. I prefer sad.

Sometimes it's good to get mad, sometimes it clarifies where we stand. I think that art has the ability to challenge and push, and that's great. That's better than great... it's necessary.

Don't burn your bridges until you build better ones.

Assumption is one dreadful and incurable disease, which sticks to the soul and wiggles across the skin.

It is a waste if you embrace the kingdom of God without its principles

As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.

Active management is a zero-sum game before cost, and the winners have to win at the expense of the losers.

I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.

You beefed cause you heard that I was cursing in my raps, 86, still you wanna run and get the straps.

My perspective on the academic world is very favorable. I did certain kinds of things that I could never have done otherwise.

Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risk.

It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
