I am a visual man. I watch, watch, watch. I understand things through my eyes.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

The pain of not knowing what to do was exceeded only by that of knowing what I had done.

Chess is all about getting the king into check, you see. It's about killing the father. I would say that chess has more to do with the art of murder than it does with the art of war.

The Revolutionary Guard was created to help defend the revolution, but it soon was diverted from its initial path.

I forget it's Shane Warne and just think of him as any old bowler lobbing down a lump of leather.

Crimes lead into one another. They who are capable of being forgers, are capable of being incendiaries.

If the nest is truly empty, who owns all this junk?

Actors, to a certain extent, never grow up, you see. It's an extension of being out in the back yard with a stick, only you're being paid to do it. It's borderline madness.

What we need are poems that interrogate the world of pronouns, open up possibilities of language and life; forms of politics that support and encourage self-affirmation.

My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.

Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.
