A woman said to me when she first sat down, You're photographing the wrong side of my face. I said, Oh, is there one?

Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.

I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.

The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

The thing that's fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike.

Which is my best picture? The one I will do tomorrow.

So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer.

I was invited to photograph Hollywood. They asked me what I would like to photograph. I said, Ugly men.

None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer.

Maybe with the right person rocking it with you, change wasn’t so bad.Maybe panties and kale juice were just the beginning.

Extremities are flawed. Moderation is ideal, save for one occasion.So damn these eyes that weep too much.This mind that thinks too much. But never this heart that loves too much.

By now, with all our modern technology, there should be no poverty left on earth.

It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.

Certainly I think the state is more than willing to not only attempt to change the consciousness of people, but to employ violence in ways that make people quite fearful.

Scripture is the most up-to-date and relevant reading that ever comes my way.

Stories surge up out of nowhere, and if they feel compelling, you follow them. You let them unfold inside you and see where they are going to lead.

A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and make mistakes.

If you don't have daily objectives, you qualify as a dreamer.
