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

Reality is always extraordinary.

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

Im just interested in what makes a photograph.

I’m trying to please myself; certainly that’s a big criterion... though in a sense, I don’t take images just for myself. I take images that I think other people will want to see. I don’t take pictures to put in a box and hide them. I want as many people to see them as possible.

I think the prom is very serious also. It's an American ritual, it's a rite of passage, and it's very much a part of this country.

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.
