If I hadn't become a photographer, I would have loved to become a doctor. I would have loved to have done something that actually helped people and changed their lives.

There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect, but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well.

I don't think you can develop or learn a way of seeing or a point of view. A way of seeing is who you are, how you think and how you create images. It is something that is inside of you. It's how you look at the world.

I wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid, I used to dream about airplanes, before I ever flew in one.

One of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.
