I didn't do well in high school, but I took photography, and I loved being able to capture moments.

Because the filming process was so organic and there was no script, the film [Dream of Life] was literally telling us what it wanted to be in the editing room.

I just wanted to be Patti's [Smith] messenger and get her word out there.

Sometimes my fashion pictures can look a little bit like documentary style pictures. So having a camera in my hand was normal.

For me, moving from photography to film was very easy.

Fashion has also been a great outlet, and I'd like to do more fashion photography in the future. I also photograph a lot of artists.

Fashion's been really good to me. It financed Patti Smith: Dream of Life.

Many of my family members are teachers in the arts, and I picked up the camera years ago, in high school.

I never went to film school, so I just sort of learned on my own.

Patti [Smith] was my experiment, to be honest. And the film is what we got out of it. At the end of the day, I learned a lot about how to make a film.

Hopefully I can inspire lots of people to learn about [Patti Smith], to read poetry or learn about William Blake or Arthur Rimbaud.

No Son [. . .] Not a traitor to your country. Much worse. A traitor to your soul.

The Government are very keen on amassing statistics - they collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams.

Joy is the best makeup. But a little lipstick is a close runner-up.

Rescue the drowning and tie your shoestrings.

If you keep telling the same sad small story. You will keep living the same sad small life.

I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.

To find rest unto our souls includes peace of mind and heart, which is the result of learning and following the doctrine of Christ.

Develop a good filing system.
