I work all the time. I never leave home. I mean, I just stay honed in on what's ahead.

Each time you take a good picture, you have the wonderful feeling of exhilaration... and almost instantly, the flip side. You have this terrible, terrible anxiety that you've just taken your last good picture.

I try and take the commonplace - and some of it is writ large, like death - take the commonplace and make it universally resonant, revelatory, and beautiful at the same time.

I have had a fascination with death, I think, that might be considered genetic for a long time. My father had the same affliction, I guess.

I just started taking pictures, and it was - it was an instant love affair. It was just ecstatic.

I couldn't be Susan Sontag. I'm not very good with abstract thought. I always just take to the emotional core of me.
