Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.

Nothing wrong with people getting shot, as long as it's the right people getting shot.

A man's got to know his limitations.

I think I came alive when I started photography.

The difference between the casual impression and the intensified image is about as great as that separating the average business letter from a poem. If you choose your subject selectively—intuitively—the camera can write poetry.

It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.
