As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees; but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
When we first came out with our music, the gay question was always there and it was super important for everyone. But for me it was amusing.
So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.

I get very close to people when I'm shooting them.
