I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

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.

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.

All I do is make photos. It's my life.

The questions philosophers ask are not so much meaningless as irrelevant.

Embracing a healing presence requires you to just be in the moment together.

Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.

If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies.

My Mother set me on the right track, Marty Robbins made me want to write songs, and Jesus Christ did the rest.

What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power.

I esteem it above all things necessary to distinguish exactly the business of civil government from that of religion and to settle the just bounds that lie between the one and the other.

The greatest performance improvement of all is when a system goes from not-working to working.

I love to be read to, I love to read aloud and I love to read to children.

I don't do much to keep in trim - I try to walk places instead of driving whenever I can, but I really ought to do more.
