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!

More quotes by David LaChapelle
My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.
David LaChapelle
If you want reality take the bus.
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
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.

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.

I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.

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.

The adornment of the body is a human need.
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
There is nothing ugly in sexuality or in the body. It's human!
David LaChapelle
I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.
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. I don't see anything superficial about it unless your life becomes very materialistic.
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
In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.
David LaChapelle
There are going to be people doing the talking and people who get talked about, choose, which one do you want to be?
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 still go to church occasionally. I went the other day and found peace.
