For the most part, as a society, we are not happy with ourselves.

For me, the stars are the invisible people on the street that people don't really get a chance to know.

What I strive to do through my work, is to teach compassion. You need to have a lot of it, in this day and time, and it's lacking.

The images of war inspired me to create, to go to different situations and communities, to document the human side of people, to show a side that we don't see.

When you look at my photos, just look into the eyes of my subjects. The eyes say so much.

The photograph is to a great degree evidence of the conversation I had with the person. It's a part of my visual diary.

Photography is humbling, it really is, and it really allows for me to atone for some of the missteps I've made throughout the course of my life.

I place myself in situations where a lot of people are going to be, and bring a particular body of work that reflects the people already there. You have to study your subject.

Sometimes we are just divided, but we still, for the most part, we have similar hopes and dreams.

My camera is my compass; it's guided me to so many different places.

People shock me when they say they never read. When I was young, if people didn't read they would never admit it. Now, its quite acceptable to be anti-intellectual.

I bet a guy at a bar 50 bucks that I was more dysfunctional than he was. He raped me. So I tipped him. I'm very competitive.

I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.

Satisfy your demand for reason but always remember that charity is beyond reason, and God can be known through charity.

As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.

As I was coming up in business, screwing up was not an option in any form.

It is more than a little ironic that "capital accumulation" once a rather tendentious Marxian view of a supposed capitalist obsession, should have become - of all things - Wall Street's own slogan.

The logic behind white domination is to prepare the black man for the subservient role in this country.

Turkey, unlike chicken, has very elegant characteristics. It has more of a cache than chicken. Turkey is a delicacy, so it should be presented in such a way.
