It's quite true that what I am aiming at, even when I take portraits, is to get a scandalous picture. I would love to be a paparazzo.

I am very attracted by bad taste-it is a lot more exciting than that supposed good taste which is nothing more than a standardized way of looking at things.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.

My women are always victorious.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.

The here and now is all we have, and if we play it right it's all we'll need.

Spirituality is the food for the soul, spirit and the body.

Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.

The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.

I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in.

I can't be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It's at that level.

Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.

I'm not a big movie-goer. I just feel like I'm watching work.

To be able to look at change as an opportunity to grow - that is the secret to being happy.

I'm a plethora of stolen jokes and kitschy references.
