I can’t stand these damn shows on museum walls with neat little frames, where you look at the images as if they were pieces of art. I want them to be pieces of life!

I would that my photographs might be, not the coverage of a news event, but an indictment of war.

I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.

You can't photograph if you're not in love.

An artist must be ruthlessly selfish.

I didn’t write the rules. Why would I follow them?

The journalistic photographer can have no other than a personal approach; and it is impossible for him to be completely objective. Honest—yes. Objective—no.
