I don't like looking at myself in the mirror. I'm not photographing myself. I've never liked to be photographed. I don't like watching my movies.

I don't let my picture be taken. I'm on too many hit lists.

Let me be unambiguous. I prefer not to be photographed.

I don't take good pictures 'cause I have the kind of beauty that moves.

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.

I don’t really partake. I don’t go out. I’m just at home mostly, or with my friends, unless I have a film to promote. I don’t like being photographed by people. I find that offensive.

I get really annoyed with photo shoots and interviews and handshakes. I’m a musician; God forbid I actually have time to make music.

Photographs that depict suffering shouldn't be beautiful, as captions shouldn't moralize.

Personal publicity of every kind is utterly distasteful to me, and I have made greater efforts to escape it than most people make to get it.

I don't want my image to appear in the mass media, since it would detract from the project.

I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism—objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. There can be an abusive power to photography, too.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing.

I’m intensely private, and I’ve openly shown annoyance at the paparazzi. That’s served in the past to create an image of me where I’m always frowning or looking angry.

To photograph people is to violate them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed.
