We are in this time of corporations being so greedy and global. Some people want to call it the apocalypse. When I was born it was half the people on the planet. It has doubled in my life time. This is not sustainable for the earth of course we are going somewhere. So we have to live preciously, we have to live each day with care!

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.

I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.

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.
