I think art, if it's meaningful at all, is a conversation with other artists. You say something, they say something, you move back and forth.

Talent is cheap, you have to be possessed or obsessed, rather. You really have to feel like you cannot not do art, and that is something you can't will.

Probably one of the worst things that happened to photography is that cameras have viewfinders.

Most of my friends are women. I think women are more interesting to talk to.

If you're smart, you abandon the things that didn't work out so well, and you enlarge upon the things that seem to be successful.

I didn't see painters doing paintings of glassware and glass shelves or sand dunes and receding snow fences. Why does that interest photographers and not artists?

I think I live such a boring life. But I can't imagine any other kind of life, so I guess it's the life I want.
