"Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture."
"I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person."
"My women are always victorious."
"It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room."
