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

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

Hollywood is Newark, New Jersey with palm trees.

Many photographers live in a dream world of beautiful backgrounds. It wouldn’t hurt them to get a taste of reality to wake them up.

The same camera that photographs a murder scene can photograph a beautiful society affair at a big hotel.

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.
