My purpose is to acknowledge the wonder of being part of Creation. Though I myself don't create anything, I make from what has been created.

I wanted my photographs to be as powerful as the last thing a person sees or remembers before death.

Artists are the people among us who realize creation didn't stop on the sixth day.

I have consecrated my life to changing matter into spirit with the hope of someday seeing it all.

Extreme things are like miracles. Nothing is as boring as a person who is just okay.

If there is pain in my photographs, it relates to the pain in my own existence.

I operate out of confusion, towards clarity.

My work would have the impact of my unreality - my doubts.

I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me too, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I'm just addicted. It is my only addiction...

I am actually wearing slacks on the show more than I ever have - it is now acceptable, and I like mixing it up.

I did have fun, for example, in The Black Hole which was very popular among youngsters.

I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
