Approaching people is not - it's ironic that it's what I do - but it's not necessarily what I enjoy doing. Later on, I'm fine. Once we get talking I have a great time but not in the beginning.

I can photograph someone if I can touch them.

War all comes down to these little tiny stories about people's lives that will never be the same.

I'm often uncomfortable taking pictures, especially if people are grieving, or hurt, or hungry. At such times I have to remind myself that I'm a photographer and that this is my job.

It's a process of getting to know people. That's what photography is to me. It's about paying attention, not screwing up and blowing a great opportunity.

My biggest problem is I'm so uninteresting that all these people forget I'm around.

To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius. And easier. Because it's true. It's a new world every heart beat.

Censors don’t want children exposed to ideas different from their own. If every individual with an agenda had his/her way, the shelves in the school library would be close to empty.

Too many young girls have eating disorders due to low self-esteem and distorted body image. I think it's so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

There is no means of proving it is preferable to be than not to be.

Betrayal is the deepest wound. Betrayal is what remains of love, when love has gone.

The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed.

I really appreciate and respect the audience. People pay their hard-earned money to go watch you, so I feel like it's my job to give 100,000% of myself to what I'm doing.

The problem with death is absence

The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.

...he will go to his grave feeling cheated, never realizing that there isn't much difference between one woman and the other, that it is the loving that creates the difference.
