I'm a very curious person. And most people are charmed by curiosity - especially if you are curious about them or what they are doing . . . unless they are breaking into a car or something.

I am excited about more than just youth culture, and youth is also stretching a bit longer now. But I have to say resistance and disregard keeps me excited.

I think I'm predominantly known for my portraits. Obviously in my work there are landscape or stilllife elements, but mainly my work is people . . .

I always thought that I was lazy because I could never tell if I was working or not. I was making things, which doesn't seem like work.

I'm pretty solitary when I take pictures. Even when I take pictures of people, I just go about my own way of doing it.

My photography has really always been about what I feel I'm getting out of it. What people on the outside get doesn't concern me.

The place where I am is always my favorite place.

I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.

Holland is a fairly small country, and in a weird way, somewhat conservative. That might surprise people because it is a very tolerant place, but it's also a somewhat Calvinist country.

A lot of my work comes through accidents or circumstances that just happen to present themselves. I have to realize that something is presenting itself. Otherwise it slips right by.

A picture was a motionless record of motion. An arrested representation of life. A picture was the kiss of death pretending to possess immutability.

Be realistic with your expectations. I'd really like to cuddle a unicorn, but it aint going to happen.

My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.

In places where marriage's core meaning has been altered through legal action, officials are beginning to target for punishment those believers and churches that refuse to adapt.

Isn't it odd how the little things can change a man's entire life?

Our power is not so much in us as through us.

The best way to correct a mistake is to make it right.

In every high school, there is a clique.

Life is more important than architecture.

I came in thinking about Bobby Ewing, but I love this Ray Krebbs role.
