What I really believe is that there are no coincidences anymore.

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.

Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it; and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.

Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.

Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.
