Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!

Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
