All important pictures embody something that we do not yet understand.

For me, pictures provide a means of holding, intensely, a moment of communication between one human and another.

You’re always working at the margin of what you don’t understand, that’s the only exhilarating place to be. To just illustrate what you already know is condescending, and a waste of your time.

Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn’t attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don’t see.

I want my photographs to say: "Look-there's this thing you haven't seen that you should see."

We tremble at the feelings we experience as our sense of wholeness is reorganized by what we see.

The picture is like a prayer, an offering, and hopefully an opening through which to seek what we don't know, or already know and should take seriously.

The authentic thing is to follow your heart, your instincts, your emotions. If you located yourself in an idea, your life would be lived very sadly.

The challenge of photography is to show the thing photographed so that our feelings are awakened and hidden aspects are revealed to us

I love 'Dexter.' The dark sense of humor is wonderful.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

London is a good fashion city. They're a little more daring. There's the element of the aristocracy, which is always interesting.

If you want to succeed in life...you must pick 3 bones to carry with you at all times: a wish bone, a backbone, and a funny bone.

Petroleum is a more likely cause of international conflict than wheat.

Here's an idea: let's get over ourselves, buy a cherry pie, and go fall in love with life.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
