The man at Kodak told me the shots were very good and if I kept it up, they would give me an exhibition. Later, Kodak gave me my first exhibition.

You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.

Film-making is a physically hard job.

On days when I do not work, I am working on my image.

I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.

I tried my hand at photography and worked with a studio for six months.

Mostly, I worked so quickly, I didn't see the details of a photograph until it was printed.

Ironically, my paintings don't photograph well.

I don't see myself as a moviemaker only, you know? When I can do a picture, I do. But I don't work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live.
