Everybody's entitled to their own experience.

I have no expectations. None at all.

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.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.

The only thing that happens when I'm teaching is that I hope there are some students out there in the class who will ask questions.

It was interesting; it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.
