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.

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.

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.

When people look at a photograph, they believe it... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.

I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

If the work is the horse, a career makes a great cart.

I'm very naturally happy, quirky and positive.

We lost our way and allowed greed and excess to become the twin pillars of too much of the financial culture. We became a society utterly absorbed in consumption and dismissive of moderation.

Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary.

Most people eat as if they were fattening themselves for market.

Rules are really weird things, aren't they? I feel like the more I do something, the more I see through rules. I see the reason to ignore it, but at the same time, "That's why they made that rule!"

The good news is I have time.

I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.

I started as a director, but I was too bored with actors. I preferred to act.

The players must be at the centre of their industry.

I like the influence of pictures on music and the other way around.
