A photograph is a photograph. When I am making a picture I am just interested in making a very interesting photograph. I don't care where it's going to go.

It's important to me to have what I photograph undergo a certain transformation - to become a thing different from what we are used to, to be another version of itself.

Once you wake up thought in a man, you can never put it to sleep again.
