The only time I went out was to go to bars at night and all the pictures were taken with a flash because there was no light at all. However now I'm very interested in light.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.

Did Brother Zachariah just steal our cat?

But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

I don't move. I wait behind my log, terrified. Over the past ten minutes, it's become such a dear friend, I consider naming it: Howard, my pet log.

In fact, the place where we have indicted more terrorists or potential terrorists, is our Northern border.

Brooklyn's good. Brooklyn's funky. Brooklyn's happening.

I've been doing som jogging at home recently and every time I try the distance I end up beating his time with like three or four seconds.
