For me, it's easier to like more things than to dislike them I'm not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities.

More quotes by David LaChapelle
My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.
David LaChapelle
I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.
David LaChapelle
I'm not condemning the Catholic Church - it's too big, it's like condemning a nation and that would be prejudiced.
David LaChapelle
The adornment of the body is a human need.
David LaChapelle
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
David LaChapelle
My biggest advice would be to take the pictures you want to take. Don’t think about the marketplace, what sells or what an editor might say. And don’t think about style. It’s all bullshit and surface stuff. Style happens.
David LaChapelle
People get devalued in Hollywood when they age, despite all their efforts to stay relevant and beautiful and young. They can't get jobs anymore.
David LaChapelle
I didn’t see any difference between being a photographer or being an artist. I didn’t make those boundaries. If someone wants to think it’s art, that’s great, but I’ll let history decide.
David LaChapelle
Michael [Jackson] had paintings of himself at Neverland depicting himself as a knight and surrounded by cherubs and angels. People might think he's an egomaniac, but he's not. It's because the world turned against him.
David LaChapelle
I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.
David LaChapelle
I wanted it to provide an escape route, I wanted to make pictures that were fantastic and took you into another world, one that was brighter. I started off with this idea.
David LaChapelle
I had this duality growing up with my dad being a strict Catholic and his brother being a priest and my mother finding God in nature, so I've taken a little from both [traditions].
David LaChapelle
I've never wanted to be part of an inner circle of any scene. I've always been an outsider looking to question and subvert.
David LaChapelle
My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.
David LaChapelle
We're bombarded with images. Take the time to stop and look at something then connect with them and maybe they're thinking the same thing, I used a lot of devices to catch the eye of people who have seen a lot of stuff, having worked in advertising and in editorial. I have learned to get someone to stop and look at something, that language.
David LaChapelle
I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.
David LaChapelle
I love when people write about something, I learn what I'm doing through the eyes of a good critic, positive or negative. It's still a learning experience.
David LaChapelle
You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
David LaChapelle
My idea was that if I took a picture of somebody and years later, or whenever, they would die and if someone wanted to know who this person was, they could take one of these pictures and it would tell who the person was.
David LaChapelle
I still go to church occasionally. I went the other day and found peace.
