“Honestly, what planet do these people live on? And why isn't it farther away?”

“Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?”

“The question isn't "Why do we die?" The question is "Why do we live?”

“Why do people want to pretend that death is sleep? It isn't. It isn't.”

“Secrets are my currency: I deal in them for a living. The secrets of desire, of what people really want, and of what they fear the most. The secrets of why love is difficult, sex complicated, living painful and death so close and yet placed far away. Why are pleasure and punishment closely related? How do our bodies speak? Why do we make ourselves ill? Why do you want to fail? Why is pleasure hard to bear?”

“I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.”
