“Forget meditation and forget mindfulness. Explore the darkness! You can never become enlightened unless you have first ventured into the dark. Dante said, 'The path to paradise begins in hell.' Jung said, 'No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.' It’s not about love and light. It’s about assimilating the hate and darkness, the very things denied by the love and lighters. God’s job is to integrate the Devil, not to reject the Devil as an external being.”

“I think the world..the world continues just goes on doing what it does whether I take a picture or not. My art--it's about choosing when I release the shutter. It's not about setting up a scene and making a picture of it. It's about being somewhere at the exact right moment and deciding it's a moment when no one else might think it's anything.”
