Quotes by Richard Kern

• Then I became aware of the site as the traffic for it became higher. The most recent contact was this girl Lily. She wanted me to shoot her for the site and she actually showed up. There a lot of people who contact me to do a shoot for a website then you never hear from them.
• The first time I heard of suicidegirls was when a model from there contacted me to see if I wanted to do a shoot. I can't remember what happened with that but we didn't end up doing it.
• Not for models. SuicideGirls is a mystery to me because I thought only women ran the site.
• If I was on the cover of Artforum and my photos were selling for lots of money. If I could be doing that I wouldn't be working for porn mags. But I got to make a living. I shoot for them only occasionally now because that business isn't what it used to be.
