My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

In France we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo I'm going to work!

I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles and I thought that was pretty cool so I was quite up front about it.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs that's cool but I don't like the dumb questions.

Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought 'Wow!'

If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks it's not the end of the world. It's cool it's fun it's exciting.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures however they are made with cameras with paint brushes with computers with anything.

You know my dad wasn't a photographer or filmmaker by profession but on Sundays he would take pictures of me and my family or his pals horseback riding and it was a means of communication and affection a means of not being so dysfunctional with each other.

Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication pictures still speak the most universally understood language.

I shoot a little bit maybe two rolls medium format which is 20 pictures and if it's not working I change the position.

Every time I copy something I can draw it for the rest of my life. But research is so painful - I mean just opening up a magazine looking for a picture of a car or looking out the window looking for a car is just hard!

Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.

I don't have an interest in any car that isn't good for the environment other than maybe an aesthetic quality in a picture book.

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old dirty green car with the window rolled down in the hot hot hot Texas heat and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel looking out at me.

There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture don't I have a right to object?

Can you design a Rorschach test that's going to make everyone feel something every time - and that looks like a Rorschach test? It's easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident. The question is how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don't know what's happening to them?
