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

The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine "photojournalism" is finished. They want illustrations, Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

Im just interested in what makes a photograph.

I go into every story thinking I'm going to fail. I think about that all the time - I think it's going to be terrible. Every story is like the first I've ever done.

I'm interested in reality, and I'm interested in survival. I'm interested in people who aren't the lucky ones, who maybe have a tougher time surviving, and telling their story.

Finding the right subject is the hardest part.
