"I think you reveal yourself by what you choose to photograph, but I prefer photographs that tell more about the subject. There's nothing much interesting to tell about me; what's interesting is the person I'm photographing, and that's what I try to show. [...] I think each photographer has a point of view and a way of looking at the world... that has to do with your subject matter and how you choose to present it. What's interesting is letting people tell you about themselves in the picture."

“I have myself always been terrified of plagiarism - of being accused of it, that is. Every writer is a thief, though some of us are more clever than others at disguising our robberies. The reason writers are such slow readers is that we are ceaselessly searching for things we can steal and then pass off as our own: a natty bit of syntax, a seamless transition, a metaphor that jumps to its target like an arrow shot from an aluminum crossbow.”
“In the EU you have half a billion people who share a common belief in democracy, in rights, in the kind of economic life we want.”
“The problem with black cinema in its current form is on the one hand it is the only game in town; it's a very structured set-up and it's not conducive to get at the kinds of things I'm trying to portray using the cinematic apparatus to show black sociality and how it functions.”
