I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.

I'll know I'm reaching the total American market when I'm asked to do a video for MTV.

All statutes to the contrary are revoked.

Government is not the solution, but rather the cause of our problems.

We know the only fish that goes with the flow is a dead fish.
