A natural-born photographer, with hypo in my blood.

Sure. I’d like to live regular. Go home to a good looking wife, a hot dinner, and a husky kid. But I guess I got film in my blood. I love this racket. It’s exciting. It’s dangerous. It’s funny. It’s tough. It’s heartbreaking.

If I had a picture of two handcuffed criminals being booked, I would cut the picture in half and get five bucks for each.

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

There are photographic fanatics, just as there are religious fanatics. They buy a so-called candid camera there is no such thing: it’s the photographer who has to be candid, not the camera.

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

What I did, anybody can do.
