It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.

During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.

I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment. It is the only photo that influenced me. There is such intensity in this image, such spontaneity, such joie de vivre, such miraculousness, that even today it still bowls me over.

Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.

All I care about these days is painting — photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing.

Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.

The camera can be a machine gun, a warm kiss, a sketchbook. Shooting a camera is like saying, Yes, yes, yes. There is no maybe. All the maybes should go in the trash.
