If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.

What matters most to me is to take photographs; to continue taking them and not to repeat myself. To go further, to go as far as I can.

The maximum, that is what has always interested me.

I photograph only something that has to do with me, and I never did anything that I did not want to do. I do not do editorial and I never do advertising. No, my freedom is something I do not give away easily.

I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind.

I don't pretend to be an intellectual or a philosopher. I just look.

I am not interested in repetition. I don't want to reach the point from where I wouldn't know how to go further. It's good to set limits for oneself, but there comes a moment when we must destroy what we have constructed.
