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

Time runs and flows and only our death succeeds in catching up with it. Photography is a blade which, in eternity, impales the dazzling moment.

What do you think I'm a professor of? The little finger? (On offers of honorary doctorates.)

Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.

It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.

The Photography is a chopper which in the eternity seizes the moment which dazzled it.

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.
