Only photograph what you love.

I like capturing stuff that is disappearing - that’s the point of photography. What I am photographing is an imaginary place that never existed, but is connected to something that has already been.

I don’t believe in originality. You take inspiration from whatever moves you and you find your voice in those things.

I've never been in love with fashion, actually; trends and catwalks don't interest me. I love clothes; I love them historically and currently. They represent a spirit of the times and the zeitgeist.

The point of fashion is that you take the picture you want. And fashion is the only photography that allows fantasy, and I'm a fantasist.

It is very difficult to make the ideas in my head come to life, but what is harder is making them look effortless.

I'm very particular who I work with. I'm not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I'm interested in a model who I can take a portrait of.

I know the world that I am painting is not a reality. It is a whim, an entertainment to provoke something in people, whether as escapism or relief. I think that is very valid.

You have to raise the bar. Give yourself a challenge. Ask yourself, 'How can one make the impossible materialise?'

Your aim as a photographer is to get a picture of that person that means something. Portraits aren't fantasies; they need to tell a truth.

It is a belief of the mediocre that extreme effort kills.

What doesn't kill you makes you CRAZY, GRUMPY, MAD AS EVER? NO it makes you STRONGER! Yep, you'll get there eventually!

It is all for naught, if not for love.

You may still be here tomorrow...but your dreams may not.

Sometimes the biggest lies we tell are to ourselves.

And the revelation was a little like what saints receive on mountains - a further chapter in the history of the mystery.

Systems run the business and people run the systems.

God warned me. He told me to build a boat.

Limiting the designation of marriage to a union 'between a man and a woman' is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute.

People like to run their mouths.
