The human body represents to me the same universal innocence, timelessness and purity of all seed pods, suggesting the mother as well as the child, the parental as well as the descendant, conceived according to nature's longings.

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

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.

I always said 'yes' to everything.

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

I expect photographs to find me. I never thought of looking for them. I instinctively put them there. My intellect had nothing to do with it.
