मेरी तस्वीरों में आप कभी अंदाजा नहीं लगा सकते, यही इसका रहस्य है। यह तो बस एक संकेत है जिसे मैं दर्शकों पर छोड़ देता हूँ कि वे इसमें जो चाहें ढूँढ लें। यह एक तरह से रूप बदलकर आया फैशन है।
In my pictures, you never know, that’s the mystery. It’s just a suggestion and you leave it to the audience to put what they want on it. It’s fashion in disguise.

मैं [अपनी] तस्वीरों को फैशन फोटोग्राफी नहीं मानता। ये तस्वीरें फैशन के लिए थीं, लेकिन साथ ही इनके पीछे एक छुपा हुआ मकसद भी था—एक ऐसा मकसद जिसका सीधा संबंध आम दुनिया से था।
I don't consider [my] photographs fashion photographs. The photographs were for fashion, but at the same time they had an ulterior motive, something more to do with the world in general.

तस्वीर बनाने के बाद मैं उसे थोड़ा बिगाड़ देता हूँ, मिटा देता हूँ ताकि वह कभी पूरी तरह से आपके सामने स्पष्ट न हो।
I destroy the image after I've made it, obliterate it a little so you never have it completely there.

मुझमें कोई अजीब सी जगह, किसी भुला दिए गए चेहरे, एक रहस्यमयी माहौल और दबे हुए जज्बातों को ढूँढने की एक स्वाभाविक अंतर्दृष्टि है।
I have an instinct for finding the odd location, the dismissed face, the eerie atmosphere, the oppressed mood.

कई बार बड़ी गलतियाँ हो जाती थीं, लेकिन जब मैं आर्ट डायरेक्टर को दिखाता तो वह कहता, "हाँ, इसी के साथ चलते हैं।" कभी फ्रेमिंग अजीब होती, तो कभी एक लड़की फोकस में होती और बाकी तीन धुंधली या तस्वीर में हल्का सापन होता। लेकिन आखिरकार मुझे वे गलतियाँ पसंद आने लगीं और मैंने उन्हें अपने काम का हिस्सा बना लिया। और फिर इसी बात से मेरी पहचान बन गई।
A lot of times there were big mistakes, but I would show the art director and he'd say, Yeah, let's go with it. There would be a strange cropping or one girl in focus and three out or a blur. But I would end up liking the mistakes and incorporating them into my work. And I became known for it.

आज के समय में सौंदर्यबोध को बेकार मानकर खारिज कर दिया जाता है। खैर, मैं थोड़ा सनकी हूँ, इसी वजह से यह मुझे पहले से कहीं ज्यादा खींचता है। लोगों ने मेरे बारे में कहा है कि मेरा अपना स्टाइल है, मैं एक नखरेबाज फोटोग्राफर हूँ... कुछ लोग इसी बात को लेकर मेरे काम से ऐترض जताते हैं तो कुछ इससे मंत्रमुग्ध हो जाते हैं।
In these times aesthetic taste is dismissed as irrelevant. Well, I am perverse, for that reason I am more drawn to it than ever. I have been described as having style, of being a mannered photographer... it's some people's quarrel with my work and others' fascination.
