You should never reveal your true age.

If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

I realize that I had the best of serious picture journalism.

I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.

If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.

If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

I think if I ever get satisfied, I’ll have to stop. It’s the frustration that drives you.
