My name is Weegee. I'm the world's greatest photographer.

People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.

To me, pictures are like blintzes - ya gotta get 'em while they're hot.

It's been a strange [summer].... I was sent by a magazine to photograph famous photographers.... Of course, I included myself.

I had so many unsold murder pictures lying around my room...I felt as if I were renting out a wing of the City Morgue.

When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track.
