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.

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

You're a legend in your own mind.

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.
