You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
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
What I'm doing here is pointing out an irony: Here you have an institution that has systematically protected pedophile priests and then you have an innocent Michael Jackson, who California spent millions of dollars trying to prosecute and could not do it because it was complete bulls - t.
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
My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.
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
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.
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
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 like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
David LaChapelle
The key is to photograph your obsessions, whether that’s old people’s hands or skyscrapers. Think of a blank canvas, because that’s what you’ve got, and then think about what you want to see. Not anyone else.
David LaChapelle
In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.
David LaChapelle
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.
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
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'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.
David LaChapelle
I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.
David LaChapelle
My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.
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
I still go to church occasionally. I went the other day and found peace.
