Steven Klein

I like what's obscure.

I like to show subjects inside a sealed veneer. There's a sense that you can't get in.

I think what happens is that you do the project first, then you think about what it's about. Years later, you figure out why you've done things.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
