The cool thing for me about moving to New York was that I got to create a new family.

I didn't have much of a life in crime as a graffiti writer.

My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn't exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living.

I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

It's weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image.

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.

I think the driving force when I moved to New York was the fear of going home with my tail between my legs.

In a lot of ways I look at these old photos, and I don't know if I would have been able to communicate with these people on this level if I didn't have a camera. I think I would still be so shy.

I just remember how excited I was to have a boyfriend and be in love and to document it.

I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.

A flower is symbol of beauty for eyes, but music is the expression of beauty for ears.

You learn from mistakes so the best leaders are constantly making new mistakes on their success journey.

The longer I live, the less future there is to worry about.

Far worse it is, To lose than never to have tasted bliss.

When you're at the top, there's only one way to go.

Hitler didn't snub me - it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram.

I want to be in Star Wars. That would be amazing.

Every actor looks all his life for a part that will combine his talents with his personality... 'The Odd Couple' was mine. That was the plutonium I needed. It all started happening after that.

Glad tidings to the one who leaves the world before it leaves him, prepares for his grave before he enters it, and pleases his Lord before he meets Him.
