I'm always learning. I can't imagine doing anything else.

What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

You need to have your eyes open because it's really scary what's happening.

I choose to work behind the camera. And I kind of want to make the work and then run away. The presentation of myself really feels complicated for me.

The world feels overwhelming to me on every level. Just the number of organisms that live on this planet. Our politics, our violence, psychology, emotions; there's just a lot going on, right?

I like getting stuff out of the way so you can see something clearly, see it sharply, have it be new again.

I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back.

What is wrong with you people?

Gee, this isn't like I imagined it would be in the bathtub.

People ask me if I left the lyrics open to ambiguity. Of course I did. I wanted to make a whole series of complex statements. The lyrics had to do with the state of society at the time.

The only thing that can ruin a good day is people.

Know that you can make a difference in the world by being true to yourself, and moving in the direction of your dreams!

One cannot reach Truth by untruthfulness. Truthful conduct alone can reach truth.

If you do not feel natural about what you want to be, you will not be it.

LADY BRACKNELL: Do you smoke? JACK: Well, yes, I must admit I smoke. LADY BRACKNELL: I'm glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind.

Take not from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
