• I regard photography and film simply as new technical means which painters must absolutely make use of, just as from time out of mind they have made use of brush, charcoal and color.

• One view of photography is that it is a zen-like act which captures reality with its pants down - so that the vital click shows the anatomy bare.

For this work, the photographer's instinct is his aid, his personality a hindrance.
