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

A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-at least I don't.

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

I realize that we all do express ourselves, but those who express that which is always being done are those whose thinking is almost in every way in accord with everyone else. Expression on this basis has become dull to those who wish to think for themselves.

The photographs that excite me are photographs that say something in a new manner; not for the sake of being different but ones that are different because the individual is different and the individual expresses himself.

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.

I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.
