As an artist you need to move on, you need to try new things.

The unconscious obsession that we photographers have is that wherever we go we want to find the theme that we carry inside ourselves.

In the end, photography for me is just an excuse to get to know the world.

What the eye sees is a synthesis of who you are and all you have learned. This is what I would call the language of photography.

A photographer without imagination is not a good photographer.

I think that any photographer is an investigator. Photography is a pretext to know the world, to know life. To know yourself.

When I'm taking pictures I even forget that I have a camera. When I shoot I forget about everything. Light comes, death comes, people go in and out in costume - and it's like a play.

I never use a telephoto lens. I need to be close to people. I need their complicity; I need them to be aware that I am there taking their picture. I hate paparazzi.

I love poetry, be it in music or be it in Andrei Tarkovsky, Francesca Woodman or anyone else, I just love poetry.

In a way my work is documentary. But I am also a photographer who has a distinct style. My photographs are a companion to the reality of the situation.

You are the hybrids of golden worlds and ages splendidly conceived.

We're nothing more than prisoners to your desire.

God desires to use you to the best of your to the best of your potentials.

If we heard that somebody starved to death in Sweden or Switzerland, we would be shocked.

Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.

No matter how tough the chase is, you should always have the dream you saw on the first day. It'll keep you motivated and rescue you (from any weak thoughts).

Every human being is born an heir to an inheritance to which he can succeed only in a process of learning.

I believe Raghuram Rajan's patriotism is no less than any of ours. As much as I know Raghuram Rajan, whatever post he holds, wherever he is, he is someone who will continue to serve the country.

I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's foreign policy.

How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over In states unborn and accents yet unknown!
