If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !

All my life I have painted pictures so that certain people would drop dead when they looked at them, but I have not succeeded yet. The worst painting cant hurt you, but a bad driver can kill you, a bad judge can send you to the chair, a bad politician can ruin an entire country, That is why even a bad painting is sacred.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

Lipstick is the red badge of courage.

Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.

I am an economic person; I judge the amount of work involved with the amount of worth attained.
