[on television] Television is very voyeuristic if you like that... it is mainly used for the dumbing down of society... I struggle with this fine line everyday... the goal is to help reinvent television in a way that informs and not contorts... human are more complex then that. Contradictions in life are what make life interesting.

I come up with ideas in photography the same way as I would video. The difference is that you need a lot more ideas to fill a video. With a photograph, people will look as long as they like, but with moving picture, you demand someone's time in order to properly view it in its entirety.

I express my angers and loves through my work. Things that preoccupy me and elate me. Subconsciously, it creeps into the images I create.

I am an optimist of course, but I am a realist also. It is evident that the course of the future will be very different than we enjoy it now. I depict a world gone wrong because that is part of nature... our human nature. We play God. Whether it be through war, the environment or genome manipulation, there is plenty of room for corruption and corrupted it will be.
