“When I moved back to New York as an adult, my first place had bed bugs...” — John Wilson Quote

“When I moved back to New York as an adult, my first place had bed bugs, and I was also really lonely and all this stuff. I was afraid that all these miserable experiences would just be a net loss if I didn't turn them into something. My logic was that if something positive came out of it, I wouldn't regret that it happened.”

“There's a psychotic amount of footage that I get. I watch 100 percent of it from every single camera department, including my own stuff. I just spend day and night making selects and just trying to find shots.”

“Mammals are very close to us, but bugs are strange. They're more mysterious and exotic.”

“I looked at Rembrandt and Superman, Matisse and Bugs Bunny, and began to make my own pictures.”

“Going on safari in South Africa was hardcore but a lot of fun - though my friend Maura was absolutely freaking out about all the bugs in her hair and having to pee in the sand.”
