For me, the act of photography is all about discovery and finding new things.

If you want to be a creative person, then you’re gonna have to be creative in how you put your career together. There isn’t a path. Part of the creativity is making your path.

I like any place that isn't here.

Calm of mind, all passion spent.

Regardless of the moral issue, dishonesty in advertising has proved very unprofitable

The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

I really like Iceland. One of the nicest things about it is that I hardly ever had to reach for my credit card. There's practically nothing there to go shopping for.
