...There are too many people studying it [photography] now who are never going to make it. You can't give them a formula for making it. You have to have it in you first, you don't learn it. The seeing eye is the important thing.

Get it out of your historic head.

There are certain things you don't discuss with Ansel, especially if you don't agree.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.

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

I don't know what love means.
