...I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.

I mean, it's very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.

Take pictures of what you fear.

Lately I've been struck with how I really love what you can't see in a photograph. An actual physical darkness. And it's very thrilling for me to see darkness again.

What I'm trying to describe is that it's impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else's.... That somebody else's tragedy is not the same as your own.

Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
