I can do something with almost anything I see. Everything is still interesting to me.

The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.

Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph

I still regard myself as an amateur today and I hope that's what I'll stay until the end of my life. Because I'm forever a beginner who discovers the world again and again.

You do not have to imagine things; reality gives you all you need.

The photographer's art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time.

People in motion are wonderful to photograph. It means catching the right moment... when one thing changes into something else.

Technique isn't important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important

I do not document anything, I give an interpretation.

I do what I feel, that's all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That's all I've ever done.

The most valuable things in a life are a man's memories. And they are priceless.

Just because you love someone, doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.

Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.

I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

Under communism, no one would be living in marginal conditions as they do under capitalism today and where the greatest part of humanity lives.

There are some with brains and some without. It makes for a better division of labour.

But an experienced reader is also a self-aware and critical reader. I can't remember ever reading a story without judging it.

The same yesterday, today, and forever.

Well, if I can be of any help at all, you are in worse trouble than I thought.

It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle
