“My teacher introduced me to this photographer EugÃ¨ne Atget. He was a French photographer in the late 1800s up until 1927 in Paris. He didn't consider himself an artist, but he was probably one of the artists of the 20th century. This guy documented all of Paris during those years. It's unbelievable. The books are phenomenal. The Museum of Modern Art has all his stuff now and [American photographer] Berenice Abbott saved his work. Not very much is known about his life, but the work is unreal and it totally spoke to me. He was the only artist for a number of years that I cared about at all.”

“If it's a likeness, alone, it's not a success.

“The sun's rays don't bother me. No they cast down such a wonderful heat. Masking beauty, by a terrible fate.”
“When I was young, my father used to say, â€˜If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die.â€™ I thought about these words during my journey, and they kept me moving even when I didnâ€™t know where I was going. Those words became the vehicle that drove my spirit forward and made it stay alive.”
