I began to realise that film sees the world differently than the human eye, and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.

My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created... what power that was!

I have changed the style of functioning of the government and administration and managed to change the perception.

Art is really about perception, and mine have been changed through visiting other realities.

I just found over the years that it's very hard to change people's perception of what it is that you do.

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails.

I was listening to a lot of hip hop, music like Public Enemy that was about raising consciousness, and I realised I could feed that directly into my work, using images in a way that was a bit like sampling - taking images from diverse places, exploring the contradictions without trying to hide the seams.

I've always believed that photography is a way to shape human perception.

Film provides an opportunity to marry the power of ideas with the power of images.

My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.
