I can't talk about my style. It us kind of difficult for me. I don't like styles. I only like taking photos and expressing myself through them.

I am not a surrealist. I am only a realist. All this group - surrealists - use my name. No, no, I am realist.

For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography.

I do not document anything, I give an interpretation.

The most valuable things in a life are a man's memories. And they are priceless.

I can do something with almost anything I see. Everything is still interesting to me.

Have confidence in the inventions and transformations of chance.
