I'm not condemning the Catholic Church - it's too big, it's like condemning a nation and that would be prejudiced.

More quotes by David LaChapelle
You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
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
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
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
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
I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.
David LaChapelle
If you watch Michael Jackson [1992] concerts from Budapest and compare it to a Madonna concert of today, you'll see such uplifting beauty and a message that you won't see in any other artist of our time.
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
What's shocking is cruelty and torture, and that's become our entertainment. Kids can play violent video games, but God forbid they look at a naked woman. That's pornography, that's perverse. No!
David LaChapelle
I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.
David LaChapelle
If you want reality take the bus.
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 was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling.
David LaChapelle
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!
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 have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
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 never wanted to be famous. I always wanted to take famous photographs.
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.
