मेरी रुचि थोड़ी डरावनी और रहस्यमयी चीज़ों में है। मुझे ऐसी चीज़ें बिल्कुल आकर्षित नहीं करतीं जो सिर्फ सुंदर हों। मुझे ऐसी चीज़ें खींचती हैं जो आपको चुनौती दें, जो आपको बेचैन करें, और जिनके सामने आप असहज महसूस करें।
I have a taste for the macabre. I really am not drawn to imagery that is pretty, things that are just pretty. I’m drawn to things that challenge you, that make you nervous, that make you uncomfortable.

मेरी प्रेरणा का एक बड़ा हिस्सा मीडिया में दिखने वाली तस्वीरों की प्रतिक्रिया में होता है।
A lot of my inspiration is reactionary to images I see in the media.

फोटोग्राफी को एक कला के रूप में गंभीरता से लेना मेरे लिए हमेशा से एक संघर्ष रहा है।
Photography has always been a struggle for me to take seriously as an art form.

मैं एक उच्च-मध्यमवर्गीय परिवार में पला-बढ़ा जहाँ सोच काफी उदार थी, लेकिन मेरे लिए यह हमेशा से बहुत स्पष्ट था कि जिस समाज में मैं बड़ा हुआ हूँ वह आदर्श नहीं है और उसमें बदलाव की ज़रूरत है। बचपन से ही यह साफ था कि यह बदलने वाला है, क्योंकि जिस तरह से यह चल रहा था वह लंबे समय तक टिक नहीं सकता था।
I grew up in a middle to upper-class house with fairly liberal sentiments, but to me it was always very obvious that the society I grew up in was not ideal and needed to change. Since I was a kid it was apparent it was going to change. It wasn't sustainable the way it was going on.

यह वाकई डरावना होता है जब अकादमिक लोग कलाकारों को यह सिखाने लगते हैं कि उन्हें राजनीतिक रूप से सही होना चाहिए या व्यवहार के कुछ खास नियमों का पालन करना चाहिए—जिसका मतलब है कि हमें बेईमानी से काम करना शुरू करना होगा, और फिर वह कला कला न रहकर उपदेश और प्रोपोगंडा बनकर रह जाएगी।
It's quite scary when academics start dictating to artists that they should be politically correct or follow certain rules of behavior - which means we have to start making dishonest work, which means it becomes didactic and propaganda in nature.

मुझे हमेशा ऐसा महसूस होता है जैसे मैं बेकार बैठा हूँ और अपनी ज़िंदगी बर्बाद कर रहा हूँ। यह एक तरह का कैल्विनवादी अपराधबोध है कि मुझे और ज़्यादा उत्पादक होना चाहिए।
I always have the feeling that I'm sitting around not doing anything with my life. A little Calvinist guilt that I should be more productive.
