And I think that after nearly 85 years upon this planet that I have a right after working so hard at showing the desolation and the poverty, to show something beautiful for somebody as well.

Nothing came easy. I was just born with a need to explore every part of my mind. And with long searching and hard work, I became devoted to my restlessness.

Use anger to emotionalize whatever thing you intend to do in life - being a painter, a poet or a photographer

I do find a certain fascination with the unpredictable. The transitory years we wade through are what they are- what we make of them.

I have never known anyone important enough to consume me in anger beyond a few hours. Better to depart their existence before they poison your own.

I had known poverty firsthand, but there I learned how to fight its evil - along with the evil of racism - with a camera.

The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed.
