I do believe in angels and I believe that a lot of these people I'm supposed to meet. The photograph serves as evidence; it causes me to reflect on when I met this person.

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.

I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry.

Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.

She (my ex-wife) wanted me to stop being Evel Knievel. I am who I am. I'm not going to change. I'll settle down the day they put me in a six-foot pine box.

To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.

What do women want? To be treated like a queen; but by a king, not a pawn.

Any success matters to me.

To my mind, the prose in a non-fiction work that's going to endure has to be of the same quality as the prose in a work of fiction that endures.

America was founded by people who believe that God is their Rock of safety.
