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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

What I did, anybody can do.

Hollywood is Newark, New Jersey with palm trees.

Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.

Ebola has shown that the world is not ready to deal with an epidemic on this scale.

History is the gradual instant

The truth has no temperature.

Traitors who prevail are patriots; usurpers who succeed are divine emperors.

Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond.

People love to see death. It reminds them that however mean, however low, however horrible their lives become… at least they have one.

Two separate, distinct personalities, not separate at all, but inextricably bound, soul and body and mind, to each other, how did we get so far apart so fast?

So who are we going to blame for our disappointments and our failures?

Keep your thinking right and your business will be right.
