Photography, for me, is a lot like web surfing in real life.

If you want to be a creative person, then you’re gonna have to be creative in how you put your career together. There isn’t a path. Part of the creativity is making your path.

I fell in love with the process of taking pictures, with wandering around finding things. To me it feels like a kind of performance. The picture is a document of that performance.

I always say that photography's closest cousin is poetry because of the way it sparks your imagination and leaves gaps for the viewer to fill in.

The people that I photographed allowed me to photograph them because they didn't want to be alone, and the truth is I didn't want to be alone making the pictures.

Photography is a very lonely medium. There’s a kind of beautiful loneliness in voyeurism. And that’s why I’m a photographer.

I'm a project-based photographer; I think in narrative terms, the way a writer thinks of a book, or a filmmaker a film.

[Photography is] very related to poetry. It's suggestive and fragmentary and unsatisfying in a lot of ways. It's as much about what you leave out as what you put in.

For me, the act of photography is all about discovery and finding new things.

For me, photography is as much about the way I respond to the subject as it is about the subject itself.

Nobody really wants to be alone. People need people.

My thoughts became demons and made my mind evil.

Poisons are more my thing

A woman never loves to any man, she only controls him

Only a coward will use a gun to protect and get respect for themselves.

Don’t be afraid of being unique. It’s like being afraid of your best self.

Sometimes parts just come along when it's the perfect time for you to do them.

My film is very simple: An Eastern European story full of black humor about things everyone can feel and understand.

"Romanticizing the past" is a familiar accusation, made mostly by people who think it is more grown-up to romanticize the future.

In some ways, I've always approached singing as acting, and the voice is just like a way of carrying the song.

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.
