I've always seen my work as trying to make the connection with men who no one really spends time with.

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.

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.

I can do nothing without His help. Oh, Lord, what ignorance thinking everything was wealth.

A brave arm makes a short sword long.

I love surprises and coincidences. I love them even more when I don't pass them off as luck, but rather recognize them as a sign that my life's course is right on track.

the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.

Rock and Roll's got to be like Jack Daniels. You've got to feel it burn.

Consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but law, morality and leadership demand it. Without consistency, there is privilege.

Treat everyone on the organization with respect and dignity whether it be the janitor or the president.

He spoke so slowly, cobwebs could have formed between his words.

I also want to tell him how much I already miss him. But that wouldn't be fair on my part.

Fun things happen when you earn dollars, live on pesos, and compensate in rupees.
