All photography is propaganda.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

Every one of us have things that we believe about ourselves when nobody else is looking, nobody else is listening, nobody else is monitoring what we're doing. We believe things about ourselves.

I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life.
