I put all of my time into art because I couldn't go back to Jersey and work at Starbucks.

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.

I am nothing.I'll never be anything.I couldn't want to be something.Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.

The decision of their fates lay elsewhere, and the thought of that alone was utterly terrifying.

Power of prayer, serenity for the soul.

Make a decision and then make it right. There just are no wrong decisions.

For the first time I had the best of both worlds--a mission to live for and a man to love.

Smile, look invested, and when you hand in certain projects, say you enjoyed working on them.

Liberality consists less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.

Everything must have a beginning ... and that beginning must be linked to something that went before.

Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.

Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs.
