I'm a very professional man. I'm not out for the experience of adventure.

Ambition is to be the fastest runner on this planet, to be the first on the South Pole, which is a grotesque perversion of ambition. It's an ego trip, and I'm not on an ego trip. I don't have ambitions - I have a vision.

The universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man.

The universe is not harmonious: you know that by looking outside.

I lived a significant portion of my life before the Internet and smart phones.

My parents noticed my love for clothes and encouraged me to study design abroad. I decided to join the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York but never ended up there.

I'm not an expert when it comes to technology, but what changed things for me was autofocus. I used to have to throw away half my pictures because it was so difficult to get the focus right.

Technology will never last if it ignores human beings' basic instinct to express and discover through expression.
