Get it out of your historic head.

...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.

I never stopped photographing. There were a couple of years when I didn't have a darkroom, but that didn't stop me from photographing.

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

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

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

I just believe in working. I'm not one of those romantic explainers of my own individual point of view.
