Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.
I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.
My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.
A lot of people seem to think that art or photography is about the way things look, or the surface of things. That's not what it's about for me. It's really about relationships and feelings. . . it's really hard for me to do commercial work because people kind of want me to do a Nan Goldin. They don't understand that it's not about a style or a look or a setup. It's about emotional obsession and empathy.
For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.
Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

I don't know anything about politics. I wouldn't put too much into my prediction on politics.
