I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level.

Photography is just light remembering itself.

My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.

It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.

I have gradually confused photography with life.

I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

When the entire process becomes a prescribed ritual that does not allow for spontaneous variations and reactions, the vitality of the medium and our relation to it suffers.

The goal of the artist is not to resolve life's mysteries, but to deepen them.

My visual quest is driven by a desire to create a universe capable of supporting feelings and ideas.

Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself.

The love of God encompasses us.

Destiny is like gravity. You may stray from it a bit but it will always be there.

I mean, you know how it is. You chase a bottle of sleeping pills with a bottle of Jack Daniel's and life's never the same, no matter how many times you try to tell people it was just an accident.

You either stick or you quit. And I wouldnt quit you I dont care what you done.

"Terrorism" is a metaphor, it's an abstract noun. It's like having a war on dandruff. It's something from advertising, it's meaningless.

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.

Don't use a different dish for every single ingredient. If you've got three ingredients that go in at the same time, put them all in the same plate. That way you have just one plate to dump in.

For official purposes, these children do not exist.

Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.

I have been sworn against by perjured and wicked people.
