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

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

Reality is always extraordinary.

I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it.

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.

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

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.
