I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

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.

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.

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

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.

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.

It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.
