I want to make exalted art. A successful image has pictorial lift. I am looking for whatever is up there.

The less I have, the freer I am to do whatever I want to do.

I am always so envious of people who do whatever they want.

I am what I am. I have not deliberately built an image for myself.

I always say that I don't want to be sentimental, that the photographs shouldn't be sentimental, and yet, I am conscious of my sentimentality.

I don't like to say I have given my life to art. I prefer to say art has given me my life.
