Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.

Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera rest until I have pried it open.

I like to hide my camera and use a remote control, because then no one knows when I'm actually imprisoning their souls in the visual plane of thought or just sitting there, waiting, and then making time stop. The printed film is like a bell used to symbolize its hour. Except it stands for both that hour's and everything's sudden stopping.

If anyone gets in my way when I'm making a picture, I become irrational. I'm never sure what I am going to do, or sometimes even aware of what I do-only that I want that picture.

To understand another human being you must gain some insight into the conditions which made him what he is.

You are responsible for what you have done and the people whom you have influenced.

"Utter truth is essential, and that is what stirs me when I look through the camera."
