"There's no real separation between my life and my work. When you set up these scenes and images everyday, they become your life. The surreal just becomes the normal, and the extraordinary becomes a daily occurrence. It's all real. We create these moments, then photograph them. We do this day after day, and it's no longer a fantasy; it's the world that we occupy." -David LaChappelle
"El sueno de la razon produce monstrous"- "The sleep of reason brings forth monsters" -Goya
"Art is what you can get away with." -Andy Warhol
"Sometimes I have believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." -Alice in Wonderland
“Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road†-Voltaire
“We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.†-Chuck Palahniuk
"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves" -Henry David Thoreau
"Most photographers go to photography school, they learn how to tell you what F stop their shooting at, and talk about their fancy expensive equipment at fashion shows. That's all fine and dandy, but to me its all about creativity, personality, passion, lust, desire, sex, art. I came from the music industry, where anything goes and experimentation defines the artist."
