I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials, but I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.

You don’t have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at YOU.

I retired from everything except work.

... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue.

Photographs also show the way that the camera sees. It's not just me or you or anybody else. The camera does something that is different from our own setting.

Photography is a generous medium.

The world makes up my pictures, not me.

At first, my presence in my photos was fascinating and disturbing. But as time passed and I was more a part of other ideas in my photos, I was able to add a giggle to those feelings.

A full glass of patience with a pinch of sarcasm is all you need to deal~

People were animals, and animals were nothing but teeth. You bit first, and you bit often, That was the only way to survive.

My goal is to draw a line with some 'flavor' to it.

Gentleman, God created you with the heart of a warrior. Until there’s something you’re willing to die for, you can’t truly live.

When you're playing a man, you can look tired and horrible and you still look okay. As a woman, if you're tired, it's terrible. It was such a luxury not having to worry about that.

Any politician who is not a unifier is not somebody that I want to be for.

Droplets, droplets: we are all identical drips and drops of people, hovering, waiting to be tipped, waiting for someone to show us the way, to pour us down a path.

The stability of the State depends upon the readiness of every citizen to subordinate his rights to those of the rest.

Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness.

I like to disappear in my roles because I don't have an assistant.
