Hollywood is Newark, New Jersey with palm trees.

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

I’m no part time dilettante photographer, unlike the bartenders, shoe salesmen, floorwalkers plumbers, barbers, grocery clerks and chiropractors whose great hobby is their camera. All their friends rave about what wonderful pictures they take. If they’re so good, why don’t they take pictures full—time, for a living, and make floor walking, chiropractics, etc., their hobby? But everyone wants to play it safe. They’re afraid to give up their pay checks and their security they might miss a meal.

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

I am a perfectionist. When I take a picture...it's gotta be good.

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

What I did, anybody can do.
