When I take a black-and-white portrait, it's not particularly meant to please you. It's meant to talk to you; it's meant to shame you. It's meant to scream out at you, and it has a message.

Life isn't always black and white. You're not always sure you're right. At least I'm not.

Many people send me letters in England saying, 'I want to be a war photographer,' and I say, go out into the community that you live in. There's wars going on out there; you don't have to go halfway around the world on an airplane where there are bombs and shells. There are social wars that are worthwhile.

I started out on photography accidentally. A policeman came to a stop at the end of my street, and a guy knifed him at the end of my street. That's how I became a photographer. I photographed the gangs that I went to school with.

It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.

It's never black and white on 'Game of Thrones.' If you think it's black and white, you're watching it wrong.
