I want to privilege the moment.

My pictures must first be beautiful, but that beauty is not enough. I strive to convey an underlying edge of anxiety, of isolation, of fear.

Every artist has a central story to tell, and the difficulty, the impossible task, is trying to present that story in pictures

It's about finding meaning through light. I'm always interested in tensions. A primary one is the collision between the familiar and the strange.

I really love that dynamic between beauty and sadness...theres always these moments of quiet alienation, the sense of disconnect, but also, these moments of possibility.

I’m interested in using the iconography of nature and the American landscape as surrogates or metaphors for psychological anxiety, fear or desire

What the artist attempts to do is to try and tell a story. Attempting to give physical expression to a story that's internal.

It is really important to have an obsessive need to construct something, to understand something from your own experience.

I think that, in a sense, there's something about photography in general that we could associate with memory, or the past, or childhood.

The suburban landscape is alien and strange and exotic. I photograph it out of longing and desire. My photographs are also about repression and internal angst.

My father was a psycho-analyst and I think that fact was very influential on my development as an artist. Trying to search beneath the surface of things for an unexpected sense of mystery.

There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves.

Prayer means keeping company with God who is already present.

I noticed a phenomenon that doesn't often happen toa man: several women turned round as he passed them.

Don't delete it, don't are you an idiot???Yes or No??You have done it and now you must get the consequences, like it or not that's a lesson you must learn it.

Failure is the key to success each mistake teaches us something.

To praise is an investment in happiness.

Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

To love is to make of one's heart a swinging door.

I have never seen a film being as influenced by the incidents during its making as Highway. The adventures of our north Indian road journey has many stories to tell.

Even the wise need wisdom.
