The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

It's silly to keep people alive who have a terrible disease.

A woman said to me when she first sat down, You're photographing the wrong side of my face. I said, Oh, is there one?

Suppose Cartier-Bresson asked the man who jumped the puddle to do it again --- it never would have been the same. Start stealing!

I wasn't very ambitious. I think that's the solution. I just took things as they came. I wouldn't say I didn't have any problem, but I didn't care. I didn't think I was going to save the world by doing photography as some of these people do. I was just having a good time doing it, and so I still had a good time no matter what I had to photograph.

Which is my best picture? The one I will do tomorrow.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.
