Photography is my way of communicating and exploring the world of people.

What you want to do is not necessarily what brings money. As a photographer, I seek fulfilling creative projects. But the reality is, nowadays all they want is glamour — dolls with made-up faces. I, on my side, prefer simple, natural looks.

There’s a digital camera craze going on these days. Everybody considers themselves a photographer. Which is, of course, ridiculous and absurd.

We’ve got to raise artistic awareness in people as well as the whole society. I am more than willing to make my contribution to this.

Individuality is vanishing. Expressing the inner world, when there’s nothing but void inside, is pointless.

Freaks, too, have their own philosophy that we should respect.

Perfect harmony on the inside and complete naturalness on the outside. That’s what we’ve got to aspire to.

Trust and confidence are the cornerstones of a relationship. One thing I know — it takes a lot of hard work.

I don’t do illusions. I try to find something for myself in this real world of ours. Everyone should live the way they believe is right for them, as long as they don’t cross the line into madness.

Emotions are a bad thing. Led by emotions, one can cause irreparable damage to a relationship, so that there will be no way back. Besides, an emotional outburst is always followed by an emotional decline that eventually leads to a depression.

I’m not worrying about family and kids yet. My goal for now is to find professional realization.

What scares me is women’s obsession with feminism and aggression all over the show.

A relationship can be both disruptive and inspiring when it comes to creative activities.
