If you don't have anything to say, your photographs aren't going to say much.

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

At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.

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've known both misery and happiness, lived in so many different skins it is impossible for one skin to claim me. And I have felt like a wayfarer on an alien planet at times - walking, running, wondering about what brought me to this particular place, and why. But once I was here the dreams started moving in, and I went about devouring them as they devoured me.

The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.

I have been born again and again and each time, I have found something to love.
