You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

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

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.

It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.

I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
