If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won't make you cry.

You have to follow your instinct all the time. Otherwise you don't make it.

Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.

Woman has been the target of much that is sordid and cheap, especially in photography. To raise, to elevate, to endorse with timeless reverence the image of woman, has been my mission.

Everything is one and I am one with it.

A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate.

If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything.
