I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.

I wish I could be elegant.

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

I'm not a photojournalist.

If I have to change my lifestyle, I don't want to live.

My father wants me to be like my brother, but I can't be.

My lifestyle is bizarre, but the only thing you need to know is where the darkroom is.

My theory about creativity is that the more money one has, the more creative one can be.

One must ease the public into it - that's an art in itself.

Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight.

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

The photographs that are art have to be separated from the rest - then preserved.

This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it.

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.

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.

I became the toast of London. A lot of people I met came from these really decadent families where the married men were gay and no one thought anything about it.

When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

To make pictures big is to make them more powerful.

You're never going to get anywhere in life if you don't live up to your obligations.

I don't believe in dogmas and theologies. I just believe in being a good person.
