It is funny how it is almost more painful to fall over and scrape your knee than to be blown up. Your body goes into incredible protection mode.
You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?
What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.
The funny thing is that when you have any form of presentation to your band, meaning you have the foresight to see outside of your creativity, you have a bigger vision.
I did turn down 'The Virgin Suicides.' I talked to the producers about it, and I just honestly told them that I didn't get it. Is it supposed to be funny, is it a thriller, what is it?

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

It is straightforward for me to be ethical, responsible, and kind-hearted because I have the resources to support that.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
