My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.

I shoot fantasy. If you want reality, ride the bus

My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.

If you want reality take the bus.

People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.

Prostitutes go to heaven. It's their clients that go to hell.

I wanted it to provide an escape route, I wanted to make pictures that were fantastic and took you into another world, one that was brighter. I started off with this idea.

I'm a photographer, period. I love photography, the immediacy of it. I like the craft, the idea of saying 'I'm a photographer.'

I didn’t see any difference between being a photographer or being an artist. I didn’t make those boundaries. If someone wants to think it’s art, that’s great, but I’ll let history decide.

I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.

Your perspective determines your experiences, attitude and the quality of your life.

Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests.

I'll do everything I've got to do to get on base, and I've been doing that. I'm happy with it.

Most women got this thing called compassion. It doesn't make them foolish, just more forgiving. More capable of trying and hoping things worked out.

When I start to write, I don't have any plan at all. I just wait for the story to come.

I have no plans to run for president.

If you work on something a little bit every day, you end up with something that is massive.

Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.

Confident. Cocky. Lazy. Dead.

They knew bullshit, and they knew about the ruling class; dying for a ruling class cause was almost always bullshit.
