If you are interested in photography because you love it and are obsessed with it, you must be self-motivated, a perfectionist, and relentless.

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 want my photographs not only to be real but to portray the essence of my subjects also. In order to do that, you have to be patient.

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

When you're working on a film, it's almost like photographing paintings at a museum. You're photographing somebody else's world. I just try and interpret it and make it real, and make it what the actors are about, what the director is about, and what the film is about.

The subject gives you the best idea of how to make a photograph. So I just wait for something to happen.
