Pictures are an escape. They should be bigger than life. In the same way, celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them - so they are worthy of our worship.

More quotes by 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
The adornment of the body is a human need. I don't see anything superficial about it unless your life becomes very materialistic.
David LaChapelle
I am not God. But I can only do my role here on this planet. The role I feel I was given since I was a kid was to be making art and I only wanted to give and I never let money be my God.
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
There is nothing ugly in sexuality or in the body. It's human!
David LaChapelle
My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.
David LaChapelle
With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.
David LaChapelle
I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.
David LaChapelle
I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.
David LaChapelle
I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.
David LaChapelle
I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.
David LaChapelle
You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
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
As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.
David LaChapelle
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
David LaChapelle
You can't change people's minds, we are not God. We can do our best to do what we do, whatever job we have to bring sort of goodness out there. But we can't change people. As an artist what I can do is to communicate!
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 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
If you want reality take the bus.
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.
