To me a photograph is a page from life, and that being the case, it must be real.

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

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

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

Hollywood is Newark, New Jersey with palm trees.

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

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.
