I'm very influenced by a lot of things, but my chief influence is my friends and what I see and what I feel and my own experiences and memory.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.

For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.

I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends.

My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.

I think the wrong things are kept private

My work shows the beauty in so many different kinds of people because I never photograph anyone who I don't think is beautiful. I never take an intentionally mean picture.

Life is so short, no time to spare, so choose carefully, love intensely and live blissfully.

I salute your level of patience if you watch these daily soaps. I cannot kill because there's not enough space for graveyards.

Make sure you visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.

A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink of it deeply, or taste it not, for shallow thoughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking deeply sobers us again.

Your passion is such that you pursue it for free because experiencing it is its own reward.

Rally GB is obviously very special to me, so I am very much looking forward to competing in my home event and giving the fans something to cheer.

Whenever you are dealing with someone or something of unknown value the first one who places a value on it establishes its worth.

Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to get into and hard to get out of.

The days have never been long enough to do the things I would like to do. Every year has held more of interest than the year before.

I've been making Bass Communion music longer than any kind of other music. I don't know if you picked up a copy of a vinyl release I put out a couple of years ago of something called Altamont.
