1 | When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I'm human. It's the same thing when I'm behind a camera. I forget I exist. |

3 | One must ease the public into it - that's an art in itself. |
4 | Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight. |
5 | The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer. |
6 | The photographs that are art have to be separated from the rest - then preserved. |
7 | This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it. |
8 | I'm not photographing anything naked these days. I haven't been concentrating on bodies recently. |
9 | If I have to change my lifestyle, I don't want to live. |
10 | My father wants me to be like my brother, but I can't be. |
11 | My lifestyle is bizarre, but the only thing you need to know is where the darkroom is. |
12 | My theory about creativity is that the more money one has, the more creative one can be. |
13 | I recorded that because it happened to me. I wasn't making a point. |

16 | I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please. |

18 | I don't know why my pictures come out looking so good. I just don't get it. |
19 | I don't think any collector knows his true motivation. |
20 | I just hope I can live long enough to see the fame. |
21 | I just want to be written about as a normal artist. |
22 | I played around with the flowers and the lighting, so that was a good way to educate myself. |
23 | With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing. |
24 | If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers. |
25 | Happiness? No, it's not there for me. |
26 | I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied. |
27 | I can't have just anybody assisting me, I need somebody who I can really communicate with. |
28 | I just try to live my life and do my thing. |
29 | I'm looking for the unexpected. I'm looking for things I've never seen before. |
30 | I've never lied. I think I've lived a moral life. |
31 | Just because I was out at the bars all the time didn't mean I wasn't looking for someone to love. |
32 | Whenever you make love to someone, there should be three people involved - you, the other person, and the devil. |
33 | I don't believe in dogmas and theologies. I just believe in being a good person. |
34 | I should try to get some sleep as one doesn't know what tomorrow may bring. |
35 | Beauty and the devil are the same thing. |
36 | People don't have time to wait for somebody to paint their portraits anymore. The money is in photography. |

38 | When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God. |
39 | You're never going to get anywhere in life if you don't live up to your obligations. |
40 | To make pictures big is to make them more powerful. |
41 | I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence. |
42 | I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess. |
