It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I know everything should be photographed. It helps me make sense of my existence.

All I could do at school was paint and draw and that was the only time I ever passed any exam. It was the only thing I ever got right at school.

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.

Journalists never make it clear when you are joking.

Girls are more attractive to me than dresses.
