I don't know why my pictures come out looking so good. I just don't get it.

To make pictures big is to make them more powerful.

My theory about creativity is that the more money one has, the more creative one can be.

I never liked photography. Not for the sake of photography. I like the object. I like the photographs when you hold them in your hand.

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You'll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

If I had been born one or two hundred years ago, I might have been a sculptor, but photography is a very quick way to see, to make sculpture.

I don't like that particular word 'shocking.' I'm looking for the unexpected. I'm looking for things I've never seen before … I was in a position to take those pictures. I felt an obligation to do them.
