We don't live in a world that's black and white.

I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it.

We want to live in the black and white, but we don't. The world is gray. And, I'm always fascinated by people who are clearly, 'This is black and this is white, and that's the way life is.' Life always has something to say about that.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'

Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.

I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.

I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.

I don't understand people who dream in black and white. I just don't get it. My dreams have always been vivid color.

Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.
