I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.

I shoot fantasy. If you want reality, ride the bus

My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.

If you want reality take the bus.

People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.

Prostitutes go to heaven. It's their clients that go to hell.

I wanted it to provide an escape route, I wanted to make pictures that were fantastic and took you into another world, one that was brighter. I started off with this idea.

I'm a photographer, period. I love photography, the immediacy of it. I like the craft, the idea of saying 'I'm a photographer.'

I didn’t see any difference between being a photographer or being an artist. I didn’t make those boundaries. If someone wants to think it’s art, that’s great, but I’ll let history decide.

I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.

Life is short, death is forever.

Read as widely and as deeply as you can. You have to be a reader before you can be a writer.

Our focus should be on making the most of our own lives, regardless of whether we start at the bottom or the top- not on envying the advantages and achievements of others.

You are one belief away from breakthrough. It’s a choice, so choose the next right thing, you can do it!

We know that often holding those who have carried out mass atrocities accountable is at times our best tool to prevent future atrocities.

You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.

If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

I always look at my favourite photographs or favourite movies by James Bidgood or Sofia Coppola before I write my songs - they put me in the right frame of mind.

The earth I tread on is not a dead inert mass. It is a body, has a spirit; is organic and fluid to the influence of its spirit and to whatever particle of the spirit is in me.

I wanted to be Red Barber, Mel Allen or Howard Cosell. I loved their personalities and all of their sounds.
