I Began Making Pictures Because I Wanted To Record What Supports Hope: The Untranslatable Mystery And Beauty Of The World.

You Can't Talk About Life Without Talking About Politics. You Have To Have Both. If You're Just A Political Person, You're Going To Burn Out. If You, As An Artist, Are Just Focused Inward, You're Going To Eventually Be Irrelevant.

No Matter How Many Times I Tell You This, You're Still Thinking, Thinking, Judging, Judging, Coming To Conclusions, Trying To Work Out Your Life. You Have To Let Go. Totally, Absolutely, Completely. You Have To Let Go So Completely That You Will Feel No Body, No Mind, No Pain, Nothing.
