Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.

I have never painted a recent picture.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.

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.

Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else.
