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.

I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.

It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.

If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If man wishes to express himself photographically, he must understand, surely to a certain extent, his relationship to life.

I just don't know what makes a picture, really - the thing that makes it is something unique, as far as I can understand. Just like one guy can write a sentence and it's beautiful and another one can write it and it's dead. What the difference is, I don't know.

You're a legend in your own mind.
